Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quality of life. Timepoint: Day 0, 30, 60, 90 post intervention. Method of measurement: Evaluation of patient’s quality of life, which will be measured using the 36-Item Short Form Survey which produces Mental Component and Physical Component scores.;Quality of sleep. Timepoint: Day 0, 30, 60, 90 post intervention. Method of measurement: The quality of sleep, which will be measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.;Functional Capacity Classification. Timepoint: Day 0, 30, 60, 90 post intervention. Method of measurement: Functional Capacity Classification will be evaluated using a 4-point Likert scale and will be evaluated by the doctor and placed into 4 classes (Class I-IV), which range from full functional capacity to disabled.
