Results: Out of the statistical analysis of the total of patient’s it was indicated that the disease has bigger impact in the group of women of the population that took place in the study than in men with p value =0.000 and a mean of 148.30 against 171.87 respectively. It was indicated that there is a bigger impact in relation to the duration of the disease p value =0.000 with the score reducing as the duration of the disease is increasing and also was indicated that patients that did not underwent surgery had better scores that the ones operated with p value =0.001 and a mean of 165.58 against 143.27. There is also an important statistical difference in relation to age but with a weak correlation.
