Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Restless Legs Syndrome Rating Scale (IRLS): | 3 month | Developed as a tool for assessing the severity Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), the 10-item questionnaire asks respondents to use Likert-type ratings to indicate how acutely the disorder has affected them over the course of the past week. Questions can be divided into one of two catego- ries: disorder symptoms (nature, intensity, and frequency) and their impact (sleep issues, distur- bances in daily functioning, and resultant changes in mood) |
| Fatigue severity scale (FSS): | 3 month | The FSS is a short questionnaire that requires you to rate your level of fatigue. The FSS questionnaire contains nine statements that rate the severity of your fatigue symptoms. Read each statement and circle a number from 1 to 7, based on how accurately it reflects your condition during the past week and the extent to which you agree or disagree that the statement applies to you |
| Six mint walk test: | 3 month | the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is a key study providing a functional, therapeutic response, and prognostic data that is valuable in the care of patients with respiratory as well as cardiac diseases. It is used widely due to its simplicity and reproducibility, |

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
