For insomnia or fatigue, negative estimate β values indicate an association with an improvement of symptoms. For physical functioning, positive β values indicate an association with an improvement.
A comprehensive therapy sum parameter as a continuous variable was generated. For all patients, their individual therapy sum parameter values were calculated as illustrated in Figure 4. *P < 0.05.
