Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| among study (intervention) group and sham intervention group following assessments will be done to evaluate the outcome pain status using visual analogue scale , low back functional outcome using disability (MODI) score . Autonomic status using composite autonomic symptom score (COMPASS-31) and EWINGS battery of autonomic function tests. cognitive status using self administered Gerocognitive scale (SAGE) and event related evoked potentials (p300) Timepoint: Time points at specific time at which the outcome will be assessed/estimated will be at baseline before intervention, at 4 weeks immediately after intervention and 8 weeks after intervention | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| for secondary outcome assessment among the age matched healthy subjects (control group) following evaluation will be done. pain status using visual analogue scale , low back functional outcome using disability (MODI) score . Autonomic status using composite autonomic symptom score (COMPASS-31) and EWINGS battery of autonomic function tests. cognitive status using self administered Gerocognitive scale (SAGE) and event related evoked potentials (p300) Timepoint: assessment will be done using single point time assessment | — |
