Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The first outcome goal was Pain checked using the visual analog scale, an effective and accurate tool for measuring pain in patients with low back pain. The VAS is a 10-centimeter scale, with 0 showing no pain and 10 means severe pain. Timepoint: Total 3 readings were taken during the whole treatment. First was taken before treatment as a baseline reading. Then second reading was taken by post 2 week. Same as third reading was noted after 4th week. Method of measurement: By using Visual Analogue Scale.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Mobility and kinesophobia. Timepoint: First reading was taken before treatment as a baseline reading. Then second reading was taken by post 2 week. Same as third reading was noted after 4th week. Total 3 readings were taken during the whole treatment. Method of measurement: Mobility by schober test , Kinesophobia by TAMPA scale.
