Data were presented as mean and standard deviation (SD). value of variable changes within the group was calculated based on the Friedman test; value of frequency, duration, and severity of differences in week 0 and week 12 between groups was calculated based on the Kruskal-Wallis test. Group 1: the poly-herbal formulation capsule 1500 mg (two capsules of 750 mg) three times a day,  + Depakine® tablet 200 mg twice a day + Amitriptyline tablet 10 mg once a day; Group 2: Depakine® tablet 200 Mg twice a day + Amitriptyline 10 mg once a day + the poly-herbal formulation placebo capsule three times a day; Group 3: the poly-herbal formulation capsule 1500 mg (two capsules of 750 mg) three times a day + Depakine® placebo tablet twice a day.
