Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pain of low back pain: Visual Analog Scale

    Visual Analog Scale: To determine the frequency of current pain, all eligible participants were evaluated and asked to report whether they had had pain. All participants were evaluated for severity of pain using an 11-point numeric visual analog scale (VAS; 0= no pain; 10=worst pain imaginable). Participants were asked to characterize their pain severity along a horizontal, 10-cm line. Participants were questioned about the severity of low back pain during rest, during activity and at night. Statistics were made by categorizing the severity of low back pain during rest, activityand at night. Low back pain intensity were classified that according to the cut-off point of the VAS. (0.1-3.8 mild pain, 3.9-5.7 moderate pain, 5.8-10 severe pain)
