Population: Intent to Treat (ITT) (n=290; number of subjects responding)

EQoL-5D: measures index of health and defines it in 5 Domains:mobility,self-care,usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression. Each domain evaluated on 3-point scale yielding 243 potential combinations; converted to utility values ranging from -0.59(worst state) to 1 (perfect state). Change: Week 12 mean score minus baseline mean score
