OSI Improvement rate was significantly higher in women than men after 3 month of treatment, but not significant after 6, 9 month of treatment. 3. There was no improvement difference of OSI among the age. 4. OSI was significantly lower after 3, 6, 9 month of treatment. Average post-treatment score was lowest in 9 month treatment group. 5. 86.7% of total patients reported decrease in OSI score at the final visit. 6. 85.9% was severe, 13.5% was moderate, and 0.6% was mild by OSI intensity assessment at initial visit. The percent changed at final visit to 37% severe, 54.2% moderate, and 8.8% mild. 7.
