Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (6)
Pain Intensity
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity in individuals,including those with chronic pain. Minimum socre is 0 out of 10 and Maximum 10, out of 10. Zero Indicates no pain and 10 indicates severe maximum pain.
at baseline
Functional disability
Back pain functional scale (BPFS) is a standardized subjective assessment questionnaire that is used as Outcome tool to assess functional disability in acute and sub-acute low back pain.Minimum score is 0 out of 60 and 60 is maximum score. Zero score indicates unable to perform any functional activities and 60 indicates able to perfrom all functional activities.
at baseline
