The measurement was done by using the same method ring measurement every week after the start of treatment.
Results : Jeweler's ring measurement results showed that the circumference of the forearm was 19cm, the metacarpus was 23cm, and the index finger was 8.5cm, respectively, in the baseline line, three weeks later, 18.4 centimeters, 22 centimeters, and 6.7 centimeters, respectively, marked the change in circumference.
