Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in The WHO-5 Well-Being Index	This is a Patient Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) for studying changes in the Well-Being Index during ongoing treatment. In many cases it was not possible to maintain the patients in the study for the intended time period and it was found necessary to accept the latest evaluation as the final measurement of change. It will be possible to report the observation time in months for each single case and to report the median of these periods of observation.	The Time Frame was from the beginning of the participation in the study (baseline) and at the completion of the study participation (approximately 1 year).
