    This questionnaire has been designed to give us information as to how your neck pain has affected your ability to manage in everyday life.

    The NDI can be scored as a raw score or doubled and expressed as a percent. Each section is scored on a 0 to 5 rating scale, in which zero means 'No pain' and 5 means 'Worst imaginable pain'.
