结局指标
主要结局
visual analog scale
时间窗: first day of treatment, at the end of treatment (at 2nd week), 4 week after end of treatment, 12 week after end of treatment
The assessment of pain using a 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS), separately for daytime and night-time. The assessment will be conducted on a scale of "0 = no pain" to "10 = the most severe pain imaginable".
次要结局
- neuropathic pain scale(first day of treatment, at the end of treatment (at 2nd week), 4 week after end of treatment, 12 week after end of treatment)
- Beck Depression Scale(first day of treatment, at the end of treatment (at 2nd week), 4 week after end of treatment, 12 week after end of treatment)
- 5-point Likert scale(first day of treatment, at the end of treatment (at 2nd week), 4 week after end of treatment, 12 week after end of treatment)
