Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The Persian version of the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire and Oswestry Disability Index is one of the main assessment tools used in the assessment of spinal disabilities. The RDQ has been validated and extensively evaluated in a variety of clinical studies and has been reported to exhibit good psychometric properties. 1 The questions in this questionnaire are designed to provide the physician with information about how Pacemaker pain affects the patient's ability to perform daily tasks. Timepoint: Investigations are conducted and recorded before the intervention, immediately after the intervention and one week after the intervention. Method of measurement: The amount of pain is determined using the VAS tool. The VAS tool is in the form of a graduated ruler from 0 to 10, and the patient indicates one of the numbers listed on the ruler according to the intensity of pain from the lowest to the highest.	—
