主要结局
Body Awareness Questionnaire
时间窗: 12 week
Body awareness will be evaluated with Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ). It is a questionnaire composed of 4 subgroups (changes in the body process, sleep-wake cycle, estimation of the onset of the disease, estimation of the body reactions) and a total of 18 expressions to determine the normal or non-normal sensitivity level of the body composition. Subjects assess each item from 1 to 7. Higher scores on the BAQ indicates higher awareness.
