Totals (Pain & Rating)			Mean 4.0/1.0				46

NRS = Numerical Rating Scale for pain (0 = no pain, 1, 2, ..., 8, 9, 10 = severe disabling pain).

Diversified = a specific conglomeration of SMT maneuvers that requires specific listing, patient position, doctor position, and thrust opposite the listing (see definition Appendix 1).

NR = Not Reported.

0–3 wk = SMT given only in first 3 weeks of care out of 12 weeks of care.

sporadic = only a few subjects received an SMT, in only 0–3 weeks of care.
