Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Numeric Pain rating Scale (NPRS)

The NPRS is a commonly used, valid, flexible, and reliable outcome measure of pain. It consists of an 11-point rating system that takes a number between 0 and 10, where 0 means "no pain" and 10 means "worst imaginable pain." Patients are asked to select the value from scale that best represents their degree of pain.

Time frame
8th week
2

Short Form Health survey (SF-36)

Short Form Health survey (SF-36) is a self-reported health outcome measuring tool. There are 36 questions total, covering eight different health domains.

Time frame
8th week
3

Spine Bridge test (SUBT)

The supine bridge test is the most frequently recommended test for evaluating the core muscles. Starting with a supine posture, each participant placed their feet on a bed near to but without touching one another. and both knees flexed 90 degrees. Next to the torso were the arms. With the shoulders, hips, and knees all in a straight alignment, the individual raised their pelvis off the bed. The test posture was maintained until it was no longer possible due to discomfort. If the participant completed two minutes in the test posture, one support point was removed and the dominant limb was extended in air.
