What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores

    It measures pain intensity (0 no pain - 10 worst pain imaginable)

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Oswestry disability index score

    It evaluates the physical function (0% minimal disability - 100% bed - bound patient)

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Analgesic requirement

    It shows if the patient needs analgesic or not compared to pretreatment (type and dose in mg)

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Patient satisfaction ( global perceived effect on a 7-point scale (GPE) )

    It shows if the patient satisfied with the procedure or not (1= worst ever - 7= best ever)

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Procedure time

    It measures the seconds of procedure in both groups
