Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in Pain by 'Pressure Pain Algometer' | Change in Pain from baseline was checked at 6th session by Pressure Pain Algometer. A follow up reading was also taken after 1 month for checking prolonged post treatment effects. | Baseline, 6th session(at 3rd week), follow up session after 1 month | |
Primary | Change in Range of Motion of lumbar spine side flexion by 'Goniometer' | Change in ROM from baseline was measured at 6th session. A follow up reading was taken after 1 month for checking prolonged post treatment effects. A goniometer is a device that measures an angle or permits rotation of an object to a definite position | Baseline, 6th session(at 3rd week), follow up session after 1 month | |
Secondary | Change in pain by 'Numeric Pain Rating Scale' | Change in pain from baseline was measured at 6th session. A follow up reading was taken after 1 month for checking prolonged post treatment effects. The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is an 11 point pain scale that is completed by a patient himself, under the supervision of researcher. | Baseline, 6th session(at 3rd week), follow up session after 1 month | |
Secondary | Change in Range of Motion of lumbar side flexion by Measuring tape | Change in ROM from baseline was measured at 6th session. A follow up reading was taken after 1 month for checking prolonged post treatment effects. The method for using a tape measure to examine lateral flexion of the spine has been introduced in the literature. | Baseline, 6th session(at 3rd week), follow up session after 1 month |
