| Change of pain score in Brief Pain Inventory(BPI) | Brief Pain Inventory(BPI) is used for measurement. The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) is a tool used to assess pain severity and its impact on daily functions. The BPI typically uses an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) for its pain severity and pain interference items. Each item is rated from 0 to 10. Pain Severity: 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Pain Interference: 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes). | Baseline, after 2 weeks(after the end of intervention) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change of pain score in Neuropathic Pain Scale(NPS) | Neuropathic Pain Scale(NPS) is used for measurement. The Neuropathic Pain Scale (NPS) is a tool used to assess the various qualities and intensities of neuropathic pain. Each Item: 0 (no pain or absence of the described pain quality) to 10 (the most intense pain or presence of the described pain quality imaginable). | Baseline, after 2 weeks(after the end of intervention) |

| Change of depression score in Beck Depression Inventory-II(BDI-II) | Beck Depression Inventory-II(BDI-II) is used for measurement. The Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) is a widely used instrument for measuring the severity of depression. Minimum and Maximum Values: The BDI-II consists of 21 items, each rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3. Total Score Range: 0 to 63. Each Item: 0 (symptom is absent) to 3 (severe level of the symptom). | Baseline, after 2 weeks(after the end of intervention) |
| Change of quality of life score in the EuroQol Five-dimensions-Three-Level Quality of Life Instrument(EQ-5D-3L) | The EuroQol Five-dimensions-Three-Level Quality of Life Instrument(EQ-5D-3L) is used for measurement. The EuroQol Five-Dimensions-Three-Level Quality of Life Instrument (EQ-5D-3L) is a standardized instrument used to measure health-related quality of life. This utility score reflects the overall quality of life associated with each health state and typically ranges from -0.594 to 1 in the UK: A value closer to 1 indicates a better health state. | Baseline, after 2 weeks(after the end of intervention) |
