Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Pattern Identification Questionnaire	This tool is a traditional medicine researcher self-developed questionnaire of screening for patients with Cold Hypersensitivity in the Hands and feet In this trial, we will assess the validity of the tool.	At screening visit
Primary	Changes from baseline in visual analogue scale(VAS)	The visual analog scale for pain is a straight line with one end meaning no pain and the other end meaning the worst pain imaginable. A patient marks a point on the line that matches the amount of pain he or she feels.	At baseline, week 4, 8, 12
Secondary	Changes from baseline in body temperature	Changes from baseline in body temperature	At baseline, week 4, 8, 12
Secondary	Changes from baseline in WHO Quality of Life-BREF	It is a international cross-culturally comparable quality of life assessment instrument. The WHOQOL-BREF instrument comprises 26 items, which measure the following broad domains: physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment. There are also two items that are examined separately: Q1 asks about an individuals overall perception of QoL and Q2 asks about an individuals overall perception of their health. The four domain scores denote an individuals perception of QoL in each particular domain. Domain scores are scaled in a positive direction (i.e. higher scores denote higher quality of life). The mean score of items within each domain is used to calculate the domain score. Meanscores are then multiplied by 4 in order to make domain scores comparable with the scores used in the WHOQOL-100.	At baseline, week 4, 8, 12
Secondary	Changes from baseline in blood pressure	assess for monitoring patient safety	up to 12 weeks
Secondary	Changes from baseline in Pulse rate	assess for monitoring patient safety	up to 12 weeks
Secondary	Levels of AST	liver function test for monitoring patient safety(IU/L)	At screening visit, week 8
Secondary	Levels of ALT	liver function test for monitoring patient safety(IU/L)	Kidney function test for monitoring patient safety(mmol/L)
Secondary	Levels of r-GTP	liver function test for monitoring patient safety(IU/L)	Kidney function test for monitoring patient safety(mmol/L)
Secondary	Levels of BUN	Kidney function test for monitoring patient safety(mmol/L)	Kidney function test for monitoring patient safety(mmol/L)
Secondary	Levels of Cr	Kidney function test for monitoring patient safety(mmol/L)	Kidney function test for monitoring patient safety(mmol/L)
Secondary	Adverse event		At week 4, 8, 12
