Summary
This study seeks to evaluate the benefits of different combinations of a Self Care program,
involving individually targeted education and support, plus Traditional Chinese Medicine, in
terms of patients' experience and outcomes in short-term follow-up (8 weeks) and long-term
follow-up (18-months). The study seeks to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of different
patterns of stepped care, which means different levels of care depending on patients'
responses at various time-points in the study, which might be used by clinicians treating in
the future.
