Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in pain severity

    Patients' average resting and activity pain intensities assessed by Visual Analog Scale. The visual analog scale is an 11-point scale ranging from 0 to 10, in which 0 defines absence of pain and 10 describes unbearable pain. Participants asked to rate the average pain levels a horizontal 10 cm straight line on a white sheet from, before and after treatment.

    change from baseline in pain severity at 6 weeks.

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Changes in quality of life

    Change from baseline in life quality levels at 6 weeks.

  • Changes of functional status

    change from baseline in functional status at 6 weeks

  • Changes of stress level

    change from baseline in stress level at 6 weeks

  • Changes of stress related biomarkers

    change from baseline in serum level at 6 weeks
