Results

A total of 42 patients (mean age, 63 years)of 51 enrolled were included in analysis. Overall, scores on the RDQ, NRS, and PCS (total score, magnification, helplessness) were significantly reduced at 15 weeks. An improvement of disability was confirmed in 22 patients (52%). A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a reduction in HADS anxiety score over 15 weeks was a significant factor associated with an improvement in disability (adjusted odds ratio: 1.99; 95% CI: 1.26-3.65).
