Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The effects of subjective pain intensity will be measured with a combination of a numarical rating scale (NRS) ("avarage of pain last 24 hours", "maximum of pain last 24 hours") and the "Musculoskeletal Health Questionnaire"(MSK-HQ). The data will be collected online at the first therapy session (t0), after the sixth sessions (t1) and twelve weeks after the last treatment session (t2) by using SoSciRLP. Simultaneously, data regarding the use of the quiz app (frequency of use, using function such as "likes" or answering questions again, selected answers, time of answering, dropout rate) will be gathered automatically.	—
