Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. d2-R-Test [ Time Frame: Change from baseline attention and concentration at 4 weeks (objective) ]
    Mental

  2. AKA-Questionnaire (attention, concentration, learning ability) [ Time Frame: Change from baseline attention and concentration at 4 weeks (subjective) ]
    Participants fill out a questionnaire about attention, concentration and learning ability. There are five possible answers for each item from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree).

  3. M360 - physiological parameter of the spine [ Time Frame: Change from baseline position and mobility of the spine at 4 weeks ]
    Participants are measured in different positions (upright, flexion, extension; measured in degrees) to assess position, stability and mobility of the spine. The M360 will be guided along the back and the data will be collected electronically (https://www.idiag.ch/idiag-m360/).

  4. Pain (Visual Analogue Scale) [ Time Frame: Change from baseline pain (back) at 4 weeks ]
    Participants can use this scale to classify their pain from "No pain" and "Maximum pain imaginable" by means of a slider.

  5. FAW-Questionnaire (Actual physical well-being) [ Time Frame: Change from baseline physical well-being at 4 weeks ]
    Participants fill out a questionnaire with 58 questions. Each question has five possible answers from 0 (completely disagree) to 4 (completely agree). The highter the score the better the actual physical well-being.
