- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Functional Disability 8th week Back pain functional scale (BPFS) is a standardized subjective assessment questionnaire that is used as Outcome tool to assess functional disability in acute and sub-acute low back pain.Minimum score is 0 out of 60 and 60 is maximum score. Zero score indicates unable to perform any functional activities and 60 indicates able to perfrom all functional activities.
Pain Intensity at 4th week The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity in individuals,including those with chronic pain. Minimum socre is 0 out of 10 and Maximum 10, out of 10. Zero Indicates no pain and 10 indicates severe maximum pain.
Functional disability at baseline Back pain functional scale (BPFS) is a standardized subjective assessment questionnaire that is used as Outcome tool to assess functional disability in acute and sub-acute low back pain.Minimum score is 0 out of 60 and 60 is maximum score. Zero score indicates unable to perform any functional activities and 60 indicates able to perfrom all functional activities.
Pain intensity at 8th week The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity in individuals,including those with chronic pain. Minimum socre is 0 out of 10 and Maximum 10, out of 10. Zero Indicates no pain and 10 indicates severe maximum pain.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Range of motion Change in range of motion score will be measured at baseline, at 8th week Inclinometer (minimum range of motion zero and maximum 50).
Fear avoidance belief 8th week Fear avoidance belief questionnaire FABQ) is a questionnaire based on the fear-avoidance model of exaggerated pain perception. The FABQ measures patient's fear of pain and consequent avoidance of physical activity (PA) because of their fear.There is a maximum score of 96. A higher score indicates more strongly held fear avoidance beliefs. There are two subscales within the FABQ; the work subscale (FABQw) with 7 questions (maximum score of 42) and the physical activity subscale (FABQpa) with 4 questions (maximum score of 24)
