  1. Descriptive statistics of patient’s grade distribution over time. The average grade was 2.1 at baseline, 1.8 at 3 months and 1.7 at 6 months. Significant differences were found in paired T-test between baseline and 3 months (p < 0.001) and between baseline and 6 months (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in mean grade score between 3 and 6 months (p = 0.01) *Grade 1- least severe, Grade 4- most severe
