Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (9)

• Visual Analog Scale

  The Visual Analog Scale is a pain rating scale with the numbers 0. Here 0 means 'no pain' and 10 means 'unbearable pain'. The participant will rate the pain according to the scale

  0 (baseline)

• Visual Analog Scale

  The Visual Analog Scale is a pain rating scale with the numbers 0. Here 0 means 'no pain' and 10 means 'unbearable pain'. The participant will rate the pain according to the scale

  3 th week

  12 th week

• Hand grip strength

  Jamar dynamometer will be used to measure hand grip strength. Jamar dynamometer measures static grip strength in pounds and kilograms. Measurements will be made with the patient in a sitting position, arm adducted, elbow flexed to 90 degrees, forearm in neutral position, as recommended by the American Association of Hand Therapists. Patients are asked to squeeze the dynamometer for at least 3 seconds with maximum contraction. 3 measurements are made with a 1 minute break between measurements. The average of 3 measurements is recorded in kilograms
