What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    VAS rates pain on a scale of zero to 10. It is explained to the participant that 10 points means unbearable pain, zero points means no pain, and the patient is asked to rate his pain between zero and ten. Higher scores indicate increased pain severity

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    VAS rates pain on a scale of zero to 10. It is explained to the participant that 10 points means unbearable pain, zero points means no pain, and the patient is asked to rate his pain between zero and ten. Higher scores indicate increased pain severity

    Measured: 4th week

  3. Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    VAS rates pain on a scale of zero to 10. It is explained to the participant that 10 points means unbearable pain, zero points means no pain, and the patient is asked to rate his pain between zero and ten. Higher scores indicate increased pain severity

    Measured: 8th week

  4. Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    VAS rates pain on a scale of zero to 10. It is explained to the participant that 10 points means unbearable pain, zero points means no pain, and the patient is asked to rate his pain between zero and ten. Higher scores indicate increased pain severity

    Measured: 12 th week

  5. The frequency of painful days per month

    The participant is asked how many days she/he feels pain in a month.Higher numbers indicate increased frequency of painful days

    Measured: Baseline

  6. The frequency of painful days per month

    The participant is asked how many days she/he feels pain in a month.Higher numbers indicate increased frequency of painful days

    Measured: 4th week

  7. The frequency of painful days per month

    The participant is asked how many days she/he feels pain in a month.Higher numbers indicate increased frequency of painful days

    Measured: 8th week

  8. The frequency of painful days per month

    The participant is asked how many days she/he feels pain in a month.Higher numbers indicate increased frequency of painful days

    Measured: 12th week

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Duration of attack per month

    Measured: 8th week

  4. Duration of attack per month

    The participant is questioned about how long each attack lasts within a month. Increased periods indicate prolonged symptom duration.

    Measured: 12th week

  5. the number of analgesic per month

    The participant is asked how many times he/she uses analgesic medication in a month. Higher numbers indicate an increased need for medical treatment
