Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary dependent variable is pain perception. Survey by self-report at T0, T1 (T0 + at least 14 days) and T2 (T1 + 4 weeks) using the von Korff pain questionnaire (Von Korff et al., (1992). The subscales for pain intensity, disability and the total score for pain graduation will be used.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Pain severity (von Korff, von Korff et al., 1992) at T0, T1, T2. Health-related quality of life (VR12, Buchholz, Feng, Buchholz, Kazis, & Kohlmann, 2021) at T0, T1, T2. Wellbeing (FW-7, Basler, H. D. 1999) at T0, T1, T2. Mental health (DASS, Nilges & Essau, 2021) at T0, T1, T2. Confidence in treatment (10-point scale (questions to measure confidence; https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00278-017-0184-x ) at T0. Catastrophizing (PCS, Meyer, Sprott, & Mannion, 2008) at T0, T1, T2. Pain avoidance and endurance strategies (AE-FS, Wolff, Willburger, Hallner, Rusu, Rusche, Schulte, & Hasenbring, 2018) at T0. Self-efficacy (FESS, Mangels, Schwarz, Sohr, Holme, & Rief, 2009) at T0, T1, T2. Self-control (SCS-KD, Bertrams & Dickhäuser, 2009) at T0. Coordination and stability (obj. assessed by S3-Check, Raschner, Lembert, Platzer, Patterson, Hilden, & Lutz, 2008) at T1, T2. Strength and endurance (obj. assessed by frontal support, Tan, Aziz, Teh, & Chia, 2004) at T1, T2.
