- Mean Change in Clinical improvement from baseline to each follow up visit assessed by PROMIS-29 [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
The PROMIS-29 is used to estimate overall quality of life by assessing the following domains known to impact activities of daily living: physical function, sleep disturbance, depression, anxiety, fatigue, pain interference, pain intensity, and social role satisfaction. The scale requires subjects to rate the frequency and/or severity of symptoms and experiences related to each of these domains. The final item is an 11-point pain intensity numerical rating scale (NRS) by which the subject rates their average pain over the past 7 days. Subjects should read each item and check the one box that most closely represents their response.
This study has no primary or secondary endpoints, all endpoints are of equal weight.

- Mean Change in Clinical improvement from baseline to each follow up visit assessed by Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
Pain Catastrophizing Scale is a validated scale that measures the magnitude of catastrophizing (negative thoughts and feelings while a patient is experiencing pain). Subjects answer questions about how they feel and what they think about when they are in pain (i.e., not at the current moment). The scale includes 13 statements concerning pain experiences that are rated on a scale between 0 'not at all' and 4 'all the time'. The scale is self-administered and takes 5 minutes to complete. A higher score indicates a higher level of catastrophizing.

- Mean Change in Clinical improvement from baseline to each follow up visit assessed by Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
The ODI is a 10-item scale that evaluates disability related to low-back and leg pain. It is widely used, validated, and has been translated into several languages. Each section in the scale covers a different domain (pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex life, social life, and traveling). Each item is scored on a scale from 0-5 with the first item scored a "0" and representing no disability. The final item is scored a "5" and represents the maximum level of disability. If more than one response in a section is checked, the highest score is chosen. The scores for each section are summed for a final score ranging from 0 to 50. If an item is not answered, the total score is instead calculated as a percentage of the total possible score for all items that were completed.

The subject will be requested to rate their overall change in activity limitations, symptoms, emotions and overall quality of life related to his/her condition on a seven-point categorical scale via telephone calls. The categories are as follows: 1-no change, 2-almost the same, 3-a little better, 4-somewhat better, 5-moderatly better, 6-better, and 7-a great deal better
This study has no primary or secondary endpoints, all endpoints are of equal weight.
