Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) | The pain was measured at baseline. | Pain intensity was measured with a 0-10 cm scale. Participants were asked to rate their pain as 0: no pain and 10: excruciating pain on the 0-10 cm scale (10). The pain reported by the patients was recorded in centimeters. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) | The disability was measured at baseline. | The DASH survey was published in 1994 by the American Academy of Orthopedic Developed by Surgeons (AAOS), in upper extremity injuries. It is a questionnaire that evaluates function and disability. The survey consists of 30 questions. The first 21 questions about the difficulty of the patient during activities of daily living, 5 questions about symptoms (pain, activity-related pain, tingling, stiffness, weakness), social function, work, sleep, and patient self-esteem in each of the remaining 4 questions. A total score of 0-100 is obtained. High scores indicate severe disability (0 points: no disability, 100 points: maximum disability). Turkish validity and reliability study of the survey was conducted. |
| Short Form-36 (SF-36) | The quality of life was measured at baseline. | The quality of life was assessed using SF-36, which consists of 36 items. The Sf-36 has a total of 8 subscales including physical functioning, limitation due to physical problems (physical role), limitation due to emotional problems (emotional role), vitality, bodily pain, mental health, general health, and social functioning. The Turkish version of the SF-36 has been shown to have validity and reliability. |
