Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome is - according to the primary objective of the trial – the feasibility of the intervention and study methods, determined by a set of previously specified feasibility criteria at the end of the pilot study. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain-related disability – determined by the Pain Disability Index before (T0) and after the intervention period (T1) – will be the primary outcome in the subsequent confirmatory trial and is therefore regarded as key secondary outcome in this pilot study. Other secondary endpoints are pain intensity (numeric analogue scale), patient activation (PAM), pain-related self-efficacy (FESS), health-related quality of life (SF12), pain-related catastrophising (PCS), pain-related avoidance/endurance (AE-FS), and use of analgesics (medication schedule). | — |
