Tool II: Numeric Pain Rating Scale:

It developed by McCaffery et al., (1989) to assess the severity of pain. Commonly used to measure pain severity using a 0-10 scale, with 0 being no pain at all and 10 being worst pain imaginable. Description intensity ranging from "zero" refer to no pain, " 1-3" refer to mild pain, " 4-6" refer to moderate pain, and "7-10" refer to severe pain.

Tool III: Oswestry Disability Index (ODI):

This tool developed by Fairbank, J. C., \& Pynsent, P. B. (2000). Its self-reported questionnaire used to measure functional disability associated with low back pain. It evaluates how pain affects a person's ability to perform everyday activities. The ODI is commonly used in clinical practice and research to assess baseline impairment and track functional change over time. The ODI consist 10 itemss that reflect functional areas commonly affected by low back pain include pain intensity, personal care. Lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex life, social life and traveling

Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ)

The Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) is a 10-item questionnaire developed by (Nicholas ., 2007). to assess the impact that pain is having on a respondent's life. The PSEQ is applicable to all persisting pain presentations. It enquires into the level of self-efficacy regarding a range of functions, including household chores, socialising, work, as well as coping with pain without medication.

impact of health on an individual's everyday life

This tool developed by (Ware, J. et al., 1996). The SF-12 is a self-reported outcome measure assessing the impact of health on an individual's everyday life. It is often used as a quality of life measure. The SF-12 uses the exact eight domains as limitations in physical activities because of health problems, limitations in social activities because of physical or emotional problems, limitations in usual role activities because of physical health problems, bodily pain, general mental health (psychological distress and well-being), limitations in usual role activities because of emotional problems, vitality (energy and fatigue), general health perceptions.
