What was measured
Profile of Mood States (POMS) measures a variety of mood states including tension/anxiety, depression/dejection, anger/hostility, vigor/activity, fatigue/inertia and confusion/bewilderment. Each subscale consist of 5 items with a 5 points-scale (0=not at all, 1=a little, 2=moderately, 3=quite a bit and 4=extremely). The subscale scores were the sum of all five items. The scores were then transformed into a 100-point scale with higher numbers indicating less fatigue. Change from baseline to week 8 was calculated by subtracting the baseline scores from the scores at week 8.
Analysis population: Includes all participants who completed both baseline and week 8 assessments.
