Trial Outcomes & Findings for Access to a Sit-stand Computer Workstation and Back Pain (NCT NCT02146482)

Results Overview

The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire is designed to assess self-rated physical disability caused by low back pain. The patient is asked to agree or disagree with 24 different statements related to their back pain. The end score is the sum of the agreed statements. The score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 24 (maximum disability).

Change in Back Pain Follow Up	4 units on a scale Interval 0.0 to 12.0	1.5 units on a scale Interval 0.0 to 19.0
Change in Back Pain Baseline	6 units on a scale Interval 0.0 to 15.0	8.5 units on a scale Interval 1.0 to 15.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At the conclusion of each work day for 12 weeks and 8 weeks later

The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) allows patients to rate the severity of their pain and the degree to which their pain interferes with common dimensions of feeling and function. This data was not analyzed due to the focus of the project on lower back pain.
