Nine clinical scenarios of sustained symptoms for VJR

Scenario	Symptom threshold*	Duration of symptoms†
A	Pain + function ≥80	≥2 consecutive visits
B	Pain + function ≥80	≥3 consecutive visits
C	Pain + function ≥80	≥4 consecutive visits
D	Pain + function ≥100	≥2 consecutive visits
E	Pain + function ≥100	≥3 consecutive visits
F	Pain + function ≥100	≥4 consecutive visits
G	[pain ≥50 and function ≥30] OR [function ≥50 and pain ≥30]	≥2 consecutive visits
H	[pain ≥50 and function ≥30] OR [function ≥50 and pain ≥30]	≥3 consecutive visits
I	[pain ≥50 and function ≥30] OR [function ≥50 and pain ≥30]	≥4 consecutive visits

^*Each pain and function tool is normalized to 0–100 scale (0 = best, 100 = worst).

^†Consecutive visits are 3–6 months apart.
