The patient lost to follow-up has been excluded. A negative percent change indicates reduced pain interference reported from the patient. A score of 0 is equal to no pain and a score of 10 is equal to high pain. Adapted from: McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) and the Cleeland’s Brief Pain Inventory (BPI).
