Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Assess the intensity of low back pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), which ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 corresponds to no pain at all and 10 represents the worst pain imaginable;To investigate functional limitations related to low back pain using the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), which consists of 24 questions, each describing daily activities that may be impaired due to pain. The statements will be answered with “yes” or “no,” with each affirmative response receiving 1 point, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating greater functional disability	—
