Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Spine Functional Index

    Time frame: 1st day

    Spine Functional Index is a single page of 25 items with a three-point respond option. The score of 25 items is summed and this score is then multiplied by four and deducted from 100 (0 % score = max disability or functional loss and 100 % score = no impairments or normal).

  2. Roland-Morris Questionnaire

    Time frame: 1st day

    Roland-Morris Questionnaire is a self-administered disability measure in which greater levels of disability are reflected by higher numbers on a 24-point scale.

  3. Neck Disability Index

    Time frame: 1st day

    Neck Disability Index contains total 50 scores. 5 marks for each statement. If the response is missing then the score will not be conducted or included in total marks.

  4. Oswestry Low Back Pain Index

    Time frame: 1st day

    Oswestry Low Back Pain Index is an extremely important tool that researchers and disability evaluators use to measure a patient's permanent functional disability. The test is considered the 'gold standard' of low back functional outcome tools. A score of 0-20 reflects minimal disability, 21-40 moderate disability, 41-60 severe disability, 61-80 crippled, and 81-100 bed-bound.
