Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome was the non-inferiority of the classical massage compared to the acupuncture treatment in terms of functional limitation in everyday life using the Hannover Functional Questionnaire (HFAQ) and the reduction of pain intensity ("Von Korff" questionnaire) in the period from admission to one month after inpatient stay. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| A secondary outcome is the change in health status and quality of life after five treatments of classical massage compared to the control group. This is operationalized using the SF-12 questionnaire. The change in the sensation of pain at the time of discharge of the above-mentioned therapy compared to the change in the control group is also examined. This is operationalized by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). In addition, patient satisfaction was assessed on the basis of a 5-point Likert scale (very satisfied, satisfied, undecided, dissatisfied, very dissatisfied) after discharge, and the desire for further treatment was documented. | — |
