In total, 37 patients in the DT group and 38 in the CT group completed the study with a 92.5% and 95.0% completion rate, respectively. Three cases in the DT group were dropped after 3 weeks for taking other drugs. In the CT group, two cases were lost during the follow-up––one due to work and another who believed that the treatment was ineffective and required cumbersome daily therapy at the hospital. However, the score of the emotion and pain we evaluated is decreasing. The data was only analyzed for the included patients (DT, n = 37; CT, n = 38).At baseline, there were no significant differences in age, gender, the course of disease, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) score, Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) score, Numerical Rating Scales (NRS) scores, P300 and MMN latencies of P300, or P300 amplitude between the DT and CT groups (Baseline characteristics of the study population.Results are shown as n (%) for the X
