Effectiveness of Treatment on Reduction of Back Pain Intensity
Percentage of participants who responded to the treatment, where response was defined as ≥ 50% reduction in back pain intensity as measured by Visual Analog Scale from baseline to the 9-month follow-up visit. Pain intensity was measured by a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale, with 0 representing no pain and 100 representing the worst pain imaginable.
Time frame: 9 months
Average Change in Back Pain Intensity
Average change in back pain intensity from baseline to the 6 and 9-month follow-up visits. Pain intensity was measured by a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale, with 0 representing no pain and 100 representing the worst pain imaginable. A reduction in average pain score is indicated by a negative number.
Time frame: 6 and 9 months
Back Pain Responder Rate (≥50%) at 6 Months
Percentage of participants who responded to the treatment, where response was defined as ≥ 50% reduction in back pain intensity as measured by Visual Analog Scale from baseline to the 6-month follow-up visit. Pain intensity was measured by a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale, with 0 representing no pain and 100 representing the worst pain imaginable.
Time frame: 6 months
Back Pain Responder Rate (≥30%) at 9 Months
Percentage of participants who responded to the treatment, where response was defined as ≥ 30% reduction in back pain intensity as measured by Visual Analog Scale from baseline to the 9-month follow-up visit. Pain intensity was measured by a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale, with 0 representing no pain and 100 representing the worst pain imaginable.
Time frame: 9 months
