Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	d2-R-Test	Mental	Change from baseline attention and concentration at 4 weeks (objective)
Primary	AKA-Questionnaire (attention, concentration, learning ability)	Participants fill out a questionnaire about attention, concentration and learning ability. There are five possible answers for each item from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree).	Change from baseline attention and concentration at 4 weeks (subjective)
Primary	M360 - physiological parameter of the spine	Participants are measured in different positions (upright, flexion, extension; measured in degrees) to assess position, stability and mobility of the spine. The M360 will be guided along the back and the data will be collected electronically (https://www.idiag.ch/idiag-m360/).	Change from baseline position and mobility of the spine at 4 weeks
Primary	Pain (Visual Analogue Scale)	Participants can use this scale to classify their pain from "No pain" and "Maximum pain imaginable" by means of a slider.	Change from baseline pain (back) at 4 weeks
Primary	FAW-Questionnaire (Actual physical well-being)	Participants fill out a questionnaire with 58 questions. Each question has five possible answers from 0 (completely disagree) to 4 (completely agree). The highter the score the better the actual physical well-being.	Change from baseline physical well-being at 4 weeks
