结局指标
主要结局
pain threshold
时间窗: Before 3 month from begining of the treatment
Using algometer to measure pain threshold. Before beginning the measurement, a pressure algometer's baseline is usually set at zero pressure. This means that the initial pressure applied by the algometer is zero, and then the pressure is gradually increased until the individual being tested starts to feel pain or discomfort. This baseline helps to establish a reference point for measuring pain thresholds or sensitivity to pressure
back Pain intensity during menstruation
时间窗: before 3 month from begining of treatment
It will be assess by Visual analogue scale(VAS). VAS used to indicate the level of pain intensity from 1 to 10, before starting treatment (first record) then after treatment (as second record). A visual analogue scale's (VAS) baseline typically falls at one end of the scale and is frequently denoted by the numbers "no pain" or "0," which indicate for the absence of the sensation being assessed. The other end of the line indicates "worst pain imaginable" or a high numerical value, such as 10
Ability to perform daily activities
时间窗: Before 3 month from begining of the treatment
Ability to perform daily activities will be assess by using Instrumental activities of daily living (IADL).This scale has been designed to give information about how back pain has affected the ability to manage everyday life. IADLs are scored based on what an individual can do rather than what she is doing. Ask patient to answer every section and mark in each section only the one box which most closely describes the condition at this time. There are 22 questions and rate them on the scale at right. The higher scores mean a better.
