Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Effectiveness Outcome : Numeric rating scale (NRS)

NRS uses an 11-point scale to evaluate current neck pain and radiating pain where no pain is indicated by '0', and the worst pain imaginable by '10'. NRS scores were collected for each patient's chief complaints. For outpatients, the NRS scores on the first and last outpatient visit days, and for inpatients, the NRS scores on the day of admission and discharge were collected through the electronic medical records(EMRs). In the follow-up questionnaire, the current NRS score was also collected for each patient's chief complaints.

Time frame: Finish survey by August 2022

Secondary Outcomes

Effectiveness Outcome : Neck Disability Index (NDI)

The NDI questionnaire is a 10-item questionnaire designed to evaluate functional disorders related to the cervical spine. Each item consists of 6 levels ranging from 0 to 5, and the higher the score, the more severe the functional impairment.

Time frame: Finish survey by August 2022

Effectiveness Outcome : Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

The ODI is a 10-item questionnaire developed to evaluate the degree of disability for low back pain. Each item is divided into 6 levels, and 0 to 5 points are awarded. The higher the score, the greater the degree of disability. We will conduct an validated Korean ODI questionnaire.

Time frame: Finish survey by August 2022

Effectiveness Outcome : Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)

The SPADI is a questionnaire designed to evaluate functional impairments related to the shoulder and consists of two dimensions: the pain dimension, 5 questions; the functional activities, 8 questions. Each item consists of 0-10 points, and the higher the score, the more severe the shoulder dysfunction.
