Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcome of the study will be the performance of personally relevant activities (versus disability). The performance of personally relevant activities is measured by means of daily diary items that are based on information that was gathered during the screening of participants. Functioning (versus disability) will also be measured by means of a daily dairy item. Although the analyses primarily use daily dairy items, all basic constructs in this study are also measured by means of questionnaires. More specifically, the pain disability index (PDI) is measured to assess functioning/disability. | — |
