| 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: 4th week. 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 Back Pain Functional Scale (BPFS) is a subjective measure developed by Stratford et al. in 2000 to assess physical function during the initial weeks of low back pain episodes. Timepoint: 4th week. Method of measurement: The total score out of 60 indicates physical abilities, with a higher score representing greater functionality. Additionally, an ‘Adjusted score’ ranges from 0 to 60, reflecting the ability to perform activities, with 0 indicating inability and 60 indicating no difficulty.;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: 4th week. 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. | — |
