Clinimetric analysis of the numeric pain rating scale, Oswestry disability index, and the Roland-Morris disability questionnaire in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis treated with conservative interventions
All three PROMs demonstrated suitable clinimetric properties in patients with LSS. Based on this analysis, patients who are "much improved" should have at least a 2.8-point reduction on the NPRS, and an 8.5-point reduction on the ODI to be considered clinically meaningful, and to exceed the measurement error. The MCID of the RMDQ did not exceed measurement error in either improvement category.
