A researcher is looking to determine the effectiveness of deep neck flexor (DNF) endurance training (chin tucks) on overall disability using the Neck Disability Index (NDI). The participants were randomized and split into control group (sham ultrasound) or exercises targeting DNF for 4 visits over 2 weeks. At the 2 week timepoint, the researcher has the patients fill out the NDI to compare scores at that timepoint to determine statistical significance. What type of research design is being implemented?
