Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire	It is a questionnaire to evaluate the disability levels and quality of life faced by patients due to low back pain. It was developed to evaluate pain-related limitation in people with acute, subacute, or chronic low back pain. It includes 1 item related to pain and 9 items related to activities of daily living (personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, sanding, sleep, sexual life, social life and travel). Each item is measured on a 6-point rank scale between 0 and 5 points according to the scenarios it contains. At the end of the survey, the scores are summed and the percentage value is calculated for the total score.	6 weeks
Primary	Beck Depression Scale	This scale has been shown to accurately measure the level of depression. The scale consists of 21 questions with 4 options, each corresponding to 0-3 points, and the patient is asked to choose the appropriate sentence according to his condition in the last week. mood, pessimism, sense of failure, dissatisfaction, sense of guilt, sense of punishment, self-hatred, self-blame, desire for self-punishment, crying spells, irritability, social introversion, indecisiveness, deterioration of body perception, determination of workability, sleep disorders, 21 symptoms and behaviors including fatigue, fatigue, decreased appetite, weight loss, somatic complaints and loss of libido are questioned.	6 weeks
Primary	Bakas Caregiver Impact Scale.	It evaluates the opportunity and power of caregiving for caregivers. The scale includes a total of 15 questions scored between +3 (best aspect) and -3 (worst aspect). It is a Likert-type scale with questions from 1 to 7 according to the answers that are affected by creation or negative effects. The worst affected person can get 15 points and the best affected person can get 105 points. As the score rises, it takes shape as "good influence", and as the score decreases, it takes shape as "bad influence".	6 weeks
Primary	Disability status assessment.	A single EDSS score between 0-10 is determined according to the scores obtained from the functional systems. While 0 points on the scale indicate normality, 10 points indicate the way of death when MS is sufficient. In the scale, the first score that can be obtained after 0 is 1. It is a beloved scale to see if there is an index in case of disability.	6 weeks
Primary	Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 (MSQOL-54)	It consists of 54 items, 2 main groups, 12 subgroups and 2 independent items: body organs health and places mental health (BMS). BFS units are in 8 subgroups: physical health, limitation due to physical devices, pain sensation, fatigue, social functionality, health perception, health distress, sexual functionality. BFS and BMS scores, which are the two main groups of the MSQOL-54 scale, are scored between 0-100. The high score obtained from the scale determines the goodness of life quality.	6 weeks
Primary	Algometer	An objective method, a manual algometer device, was used to assess pain sensitivity to pressure. In this study, "Baseline Dolorimeter" was preferred. The measurement was aimed at the unilateral iliocostalis lumborum muscle. Individuals were asked to say as soon as the feeling of pressure turned into a feeling of pain.	6 weeks
