Back Pain
Conditions
Brief summary
Something must be done in order to release the tension within the dura mater before any lasting correction of the spine can be effected. Each of the cranial nerves is wrapped in a sheath of dura mater. As they exit the cranial vault they are described by Gray's Anatomy as having a dural cuff.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| body mass index | 3 months | BMI in kg/m\^2 |
| Satisfaction assessed by the VAS | 3 months | Degrees of menstrual pain will be assessed using a VAS, which was a method of representing subjects' pain on a 10 cm linear scale. Score of 0 meant 'no pain' and 10 meant 'worst pain'. Tomeasure specific symptoms |
| a pressure-pain threshold | 3 months | algometer Algometers are devices that can be used to identify the pressure and/or force eliciting a pressure-pain threshold. It has been noted in pressure-pain threshold studies that the rate at which manual force is applied should be consistent to provide the greatest reliability |
