Regarding changes in individual item scores, improvements were noted in several areas, including the extent to which pain interferes with daily life (0.67 point average increase on a 5-point scale, t = 4.79, p = .05), amount of time feeling calm (0.86 point average increase on a 6-point scale, t = 4.79, p = .05), amount of time having sufficient energy (0.69 point increase on a 6-point scale, t = 4.69, p = .05), improved mood (0.57 point increase on a 6-point scale, t = 2.37, p = .05), and extent to which physical or mental health issues interfere with social activities (0.74 point increase on a 5-point scale, t = 4.61, p = .05). There were no score changes reflecting worsened health for any composite or individual item score.
