    The DASH (Disability Arm, Shoulder, and Hand outcomes) is scored on a 0-100 scale. Higher score indicates greater disability. A change of 10 more points from baseline, noted at the end of the study will be considered significant

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Change in ODI (Oswestry Disability Index)

    The OSI is scored on a 0-100 scale, zero being with no disability and 100 with maximum disability possible. A change of 10 points from baseline will be considered significant

    Measured: 12 months
