Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analoque Scale | Before treatment, immediately after treatment, 1 month after the end of treatment | Visual Analoque Scale is a scale consisting of a single 10 cm line and assesses the intensity of pain. Patients were asked to rate the level of pain after being informed that the beginning point on the scale represented no pain and the end point represented the most excruciating pain they had ever experienced |
| The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire | Before treatment, immediately after treatment, 1 month after the end of treatment | The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire is a questionnaire developed to assess functional disabilities in patients with low back pain \[15\]. In the questionnaire consisting of 24 sentences about functional disabilities, patients are asked to answer each sentence as yes if it fits their situation and no if it does not. Yes answers are calculated as '1' and no answers as '0' points, resulting in a total score between 0-24, with a higher score indicating more disability. |
