Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcome 1: improvement in pain intensity, that will be measured through the numerical estimation scale (NES). In this instrument, patients assess their pain on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing “no pain” and 10 indicating “worst pain imaginable".;Primary outcome 2: Improvement of function that will be assessed through the Disability Questionnaire Roland Morris (DQRM), which contain 24 dichotomous questions and the final result corresponds to the sum of “yes” answers. Will also be performed the frontal support test that evaluates the muscular endurance and the sit and stand test with five repetitions (SST-5R). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcome 1: Kinesiophobia: The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (ETC) will be used for evaluation, consisting of a questionnaire self-administered, composed of 17 questions that address pain and symptom intensity.;Secondary outcome 2: Depressive symptoms: Patient Health will be used Questionnaire (PHQ-2), which has been used as an initial tool screening for depression.Has Likert-type responses from zero (‘never”) to three points (“almost every day”).;Secondary outcome 3:Self-efficacy: It will be measured using the chronic pain self-efficacy scale (AEDC). Only the pain control domain, which contains 5 items, will be used; each item is evaluated by a Likert scale from 10 to 100 points corresponding to the certainty that one has in relation to each item. ;Secondary outcome 4: Catastrophization: For this construct, it will be used the Scale of Catastrophic Thoughts about Pain (SCTP) and consists of nine items staggered on a Likert scale from zero to five. | — |
