Mean pain intensity and pain interference at baseline and follow-up.
Baseline (BL) | Follow-up (FU) | Mean percent difference from BL to FU (CI) | Proportion of patients reporting > −30% change from BL to FU | Proportion of patients reporting > −50% change from BL to FU | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mean | SD | Mean | SD | ||||
Pain intensity (N = 244) | 8.0 | 1.8 | 5.4 | 2.2 | −30.6 (−27.2 to −34.0) | 48.3% | 20.1% |
Pain interference (N = 115) | 6.5 | 2.0 | 4.7 | 2.8 | −21.4 (−9.7 to −33.2) | 43.9% | 31.6% |
Pain intensity and pain interference measured using the Brief Pain Inventory.
CI, 95% confidence interval; SD, standard deviation.
