Table 1 shows a chart of the test subjects' Pearson Correlation Coefficients (r-values) between mood, pain, quality of life, and perceived well-being. For each of the cases, the association and difference between the mean values in all of the above-mentioned parameters were also measured and were statistically very significant (p < 0,0001).
