Pain effect size vs. DURATION of exercise for neck pain patients for all exercise modalities.
DURATION of intervention is measured in weeks, n = 8, shows a statistically significant positive correlation with analgesic effect (p = 0.0059). R represents Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Dotted line represents line of best fit.
