Low back pain is a highly prevalent condition that affects individuals worldwide and represents one of the most common complaints in primary care settings. LBP can originate from a variety of sources, including musculoskeletal, neural, and skeletal structures, and may be exacerbated by factors such as prolonged postures, physical strain, and age-related degenerative changes..

| The pain visual analog scale (VAS) is a one-dimensional way to quantify the intensity of pain; it's used for keeping track of how a patient's pain develops over time or for comparing the pain levels of people with similar medical conditions. Timepoint: 8th weeks. Method of measurement: The most basic VAS is a horizontal line with a fixed length, typically 100 mm. At each end of the line are the extremes of the parameter that is going to be measured, on the left side are the worst symptoms, and on the right side are the best health outcomes.;When looking for a reduction in lumbar spine range of motion (flexion), as might happen with conditions like ankylosing spondylitis, the traditional gold standard is Schober's test. Timepoint: 8th weeks. Method of measurement: While the patient is upright, the examiner makes two marks on the PSIS and then, in the exact middle of those marks, draws a horizontal line. A second line is indicated fifteen centimeters above the first line. The examiner next has the patient bend forward as if reaching for their toes and takes new measurements from the top and bottom lines.;One popular self-report tool for gauging the extent to which low back pain impairs a person's functional capacity and quality of life is the Modified Oswestry Disability Index. Timepoint: 8th weeks. Method of measurement: On a scale from 0 to 5 or 6, the respondent scores their level of disability for each of the ten parts that cover different everyday tasks. A higher percentage indicates a greater degree of disability, as the results are combined and expressed as a whole. | — |
