According to the number of attacks before treatment, there was a significant decrease in the number of attacks in the 1st control and 2nd control (respectively; p < 0.001, p < 0.001). There was no difference between the number of attacks in the 1st control and 2nd control (p >0.05). Therefore, the subsequent evaluations were made on the patients who received the first control.

There was a difference between the number of attacks before treatment and the number of 1st control attacks in patients with negative modified API (p < 0.001). The number of attacks in the 1st control was significantly lower than before treatment (Table 3).
