| The pain VAS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity, used to record patients’ pain progression, or compare pain severity between patients with similar conditions. Timepoint: Before intervention and 2nd , 4th weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: The simplest VAS is a straight horizontal line of fixed length, usually 100 mm. The ends are defined as the extreme limits of the parameter to be measured (symptom, pain, health) orientated from the left (worst) to the right (best).;The Oswestry disability Index is most sensitive for patients with mild to moderate disability due to acute, sub-acute, or chronic low back pain. Timepoint: Before intervention and 2nd , 4th weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: The end score is the sum of the ticked boxes. The score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 24 (max. disability) depending on the questionnaire used. Roland and Morris omitted describing the various levels of disability (for example, 40%–60% of disability is severe).;The SF-12 is a self-reported outcome measure assessing the impact of health on an individual's everyday life. It is often used as a quality of life measure. Timepoint: Before intervention and 2nd , 4th weeks after intervention. Method of measurement: The SF-12 uses the exact two domains mental and physical health score as the SF-36. Patients fill out a 12-question survey which is then scored by a clinician or researcher.
