Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| NRS | 6 month | Numeric rating scale(NRS) A numerical rating scale (NRS) requires the patient to rate their pain on a defined scale. For example, 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ODI | 6 month | Oswestry Disability Index Each topic category is followed by 6 statements describing different potential scenarios in the patient's life relating to the topic. The patient then checks the statement which most closely resembles their situation. Each question is scored on a scale of 0-5 with the first statement being zero and indicating the least amount of disability and the last statement is scored 5 indicating most severe disability.The scores for all questions answered are summed, then multiplied by two to obtain the index (range 0 to 100). Zero is equated with no disability and 100 is the maximum disability possible |
| NSAİD | 6 month | The monthly consumption of NSAIDs was queried (pcs/month) |
