There was a statistically substantial association between TAMS with main complain among all studied patients, with p-value (p<0.05). There is no statistically substantial association between EPQ with main complain, with p-value (p>0.05). There was a statistically substantial variation among main complain according to VAS level with p-value (p<0.05).
