Summary of symptom relief and quality of life (QoL) outcomes. At 1-year follow-up, patients had significant improvements from baseline in (A) median numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) score indicating pain relief, (B) mean midcalf and midthigh measurements showing edema reduction, and (C) median EuroQoL Group 5-dimension questionnaire (EQ-5D) score demonstrating improved QoL. Boxes represent IQR (Q1, Q3) with horizontal bars representing median values and vertical lines representing 1.5 × (Q1-Q3). P values are derived from the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with comparison against baseline values.
