What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Visual analogue scale
Time Frame: 6th week
A tool used to help a person rate the intensity of pain. The visual analogue scale for pain is a straight line with one end meaning no pain and the other end meaning the worst pain imaginable. High reliability when it is used for acute abdominal pain and moderate to good reliability for disability in patient with chronic musculoskeletal pain. It is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain
6th week
Short form 36
Time Frame: 6th week

The Short form 36 health survey questionnaire is used to indicate the health status of particular population, to help with service planning and to measure the impact of clinical and social intervention.

The SF-36 is considered to be a valid, reliable, concise and generic measure of state of health
6th week
Oswestry disability index
Time Frame: 6th week
The Oswestry disability index is a self-rating condition-specific outcome measure for evaluation of low back pain disability. It is a validated, 10-point patient-reported outcome questionnaire. It is considered the Gold standard for measuring disability and quality of life, impairment for adult with low back pain. The ODI ca be used to assess both chronic and acute conditions of varying severity. It has a high test-retest reliability and takes around 5 min for a patient to complete
