What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Neck disability index

    Patient-completed, condition-specific functional status questionnaire with 10 items including pain, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation. This questionnaire has been designed to give us information as to how your neck pain has affected your ability to manage in everyday life. The NDI can be scored as a raw score or doubled and expressed as a percent. Each section is scored on a 0 to 5 rating scale, in which zero means 'No pain' and 5 means 'Worst imaginable pain'. Points summed to a total score. The test can be interpreted as a raw score, with a maximum score of 50, or as a percentage. 0 points or 0% means: no activity limitations, 50 points or 100% means complete activity limitation. A higher score indicates more patient-rated disability.

    Time frame: 1 month

  2. Visual functional questionnare

    The VFQ-25 consists of a base set of 25 vision targeted questions representing 11 vision-related constructs, plus an additional single-item general health rating question The VFQ-25 takes approximately 10 minutes on average to administer in the interviewer format. There is also a self-administered version of theSurvey.
