 Total score7.6 ± 5.87.3 ± 4.40.806
 Symptom domain3.0 ± 2.73.1 ± 2.60.917
 Sensory domain4.6 ± 3.74.2 ± 3.00.647

Data are mean ± SD. values for other parameters were obtained from Student -tests.
mTCNS total score is the sum of symptom domain and sensory domain scores. The symptom domain score is the sum of individual symptom scores, and the sensory domain score is the sum of individual sensory scores.
