Subjects were measured the satisfaction score which assessed using QOL questionnaire. Data are presented as mean ± SD. 𝑃- and 𝐹-values were compared between pre-dose baseline score and post-dose score for 1, 2, 3 month and 1 month after the cessation of C. asiatica treatment (𝑛 = 20/group).
^a,b𝑃-value < .05 and .001 compared with pre-dose baseline score, respectively.
^∗𝑃-value < .05 compared with placebo treated group.
