Self-reported quality of life questionnaires - WHOQoL-Bref. Based on the participant's answer to the 26 questions in the questionnaire, an overall quality of life profile for the participant is formed, which consists of a quality of life score for each dimension of the questionnaire. These are physical health, mental health, social relationships and the participants' surroundings.

Efter endt projekt går patienter tilbage til deres vanlige medicin. Såfremt der under forsøget findes indikationer for de ikke får den korrekte dosering, underrettes der vanlige behandler såfremt patienterne ønsker dette med henblik på dosisoptimering.
