Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Numeric Pain Rate Scale (NPRS)

Patient's pain was summarized using numerical scale. It has numbers from 0 to 10. Where 0 is equal to "no pain" and 10 is equal to "worst pain". This scale has high test-retest reliability of r = 0.96 and 0.95, respectively.

Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment in 10 months

Manual Muscle Testing (MMT)

Manual muscle testing was used to assess muscle strength. Which can be scored using a 0-10 points using Kendal 10-point muscle strength scale. MMT is the most commonly used method for documenting impairments in muscle strength in both spine and periphery with a kappa value 0.88.

Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment in 10 months
