Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The visual analog scale (VAS)	The patient determined the pain intensity on a 10 cm scale marked with points ranging from predetermined no pain and excruciating pain	change from baseline to after 3 weeks
Primary	The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)	(ODI) consists of 10 items on the degree of severity to which back (or leg) trouble has affected the ability to manage in everyday life.	change from baseline to after 3 weeks
Primary	Modified Schober's test (MST)	the participant stood erect while the lumbosacral junction was marked as indicated by the dimples of Venus. For measuring the MST, we put a mark 5 cm below and 10 cm above the junction. The participant was asked to bend forward as far as possible and the stretched distance of these two points was measured as the MST value.	change from baseline to after 3 weeks
