Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Pain intensity
It will be measured with a visual analog scale (VAS) of 100 millimeters in length. The subject has to indicate the level of pain he feels, being 0 the absence of pain and 100 the maximum imaginable.
Secondary outcomes
Functionality
The version adapted to Spanish from the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) will be used. It comprises 10 items, each scored from 0 to 5 (from no limitation to maximum limitation). The total score (0-100%) is calculated by dividing the sum of the item scores by the maximum possible score and multiplying by 100.
