Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Visual Analogue Scale	12 Months	The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a way of measuring pain intensity. It is often utilized in investigations concerning pain management. Visual analog scales (VAS) are psychometric measuring tools created to record the characteristics of disease-related symptom severity in individual patients and utilize this to achieve a quick (statistically observable and reproducible) classification of symptom severity and disease control. Scores are taken by placing a handwritten mark along a 10-cm line that depicts a pain spectrum between ""no pain"" and ""worst pain.""
Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)	12 Months	The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is a widely used instrument for determining the degree of impairment and how low back pain affects a person's ability to do daily chores. Each of its 10 sections focuses on a different aspect of everyday life, such as pain severity, personal cleanliness, walking, lifting, sitting, standing, sleeping, and social life. A person's scores for each component are added based on the severity of their condition to determine their total disability percentage, which can range from 0% (no impairment) to 100% (severe disability). It is widely used in clinical settings to track changes over time and assess the effectiveness of treatments for low back pain (27).; The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) exhibits great validity (correlation with VAS: r= 0.67; Roland Morris: r=0.76) and high reliability (Cronbach's α \> 0.70, ICC \> 0.90)
Goniometer	12 Months	A Goniometer is simple yet effective tool used to measure the range of motion of a joint.; 0% to 20%: minimal disability: 21%-40%: moderate disability: 41%-60%: severe disability: Pain remains the main problem in this group but activities of daily living are affected. These patients require a detailed investigation.; 61%-80%: crippled: Back pain impinges on all aspects of the patient's life. Positive intervention is required.; 81%-100%: These patients are either bed-bound or exaggerating their symptoms.
