The most significant improvement was found in the somatic domain - by 5% after 6 weeks, and by 6% after 6 months (p<0.001). The quality of life according to the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire revealed statistically significant improvement after 6 weeks, by 18-24% (p<0.001), after 6 months by 41-48% (p<0.001).
