What is being measured

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

  1. Change from functional impairment with Roland-Morris questionnaire at 6 weeks.

    Disabilities are measured with Roland-Morris questionnaire, from Day 0 to Day 42. This questionnaire includes 24 items with 1 point per item. The score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 24 (max. disability).

    Measured: Day 0 (patient inclusion) and Day 42 (end of patient monitoring)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Difference of average pain during the seven last days with VAS pain

    VAS pain is a scale measuring pain intensity from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain). For this outcome, the average pain during the seven last days is evaluated.

    Measured: Day 0 (patient inclusion) and Day 42 (end of patient monitoring)

  2. Difference of worse pain during the seven last days with VAS pain

    VAS pain is a scale measuring pain intensity from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain). For this outcome, the worse pain during the seven last days is evaluated.

    Measured: Day 0 (patient inclusion) and Day 42 (end of patient monitoring)

  3. Compliance (number of sessions done over the number of recommanded sessions) of self-rehabilitation program at 6 weeks

    Compliance is evaluated with a compliance table. Patients have to complete this table after each session. Investigators will report the compliance table at the end of the patient monitoring (Week 6).

    Measured: Day 42 (end of patient monitoring)

  4. Assessment of satisfaction with Likert scale

    Likert scale is a scale with 10 questions. For each question, the scale ranges from 3 (strongly agree) to -3 (strongly disagree).

    Measured: Day 42 (end of patient monitoring)
