Lifestyle intervention: A lifestyle intervention is an occupational therapy intervention program that aims to help individuals change their lifestyle by encouraging greater engagement in meaningful activities. This program aims to help participants develop healthy routines and habits. It offers a perspective that combines various approaches such as patient education, occupational self-analysis, problem-solving, and building motivation to prevent and manage chronic health problems. Participants gain self-analysis and problem-solving skills while experiencing positive lifestyle changes and developing healthy routines.
The lifestyle intervention was planned as a total of 8 sessions, 2 sessions per week.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) — six months The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a simple, effective, valid, and reliable tool that is internationally recognized for assessing participants' pain intensity. Participants are asked to mark on a 10 cm horizontal line to indicate how severely they perceive their pain. The left end of the scale represents "no pain" (0 cm), and the right end represents "unbearable pain" (10 cm). Assessment is performed by precisely measuring the horizontal distance of the marked point from the left end with a ruler. This numerical value is interpreted as an indicator of the participant's pain severity. A score between 1-3.9 cm indicates mild pain, 4-6.9 cm indicates moderate pain, and 7-10 cm indicates severe pain.
