Significantly different from pretreatment or initial visit (p < 0.05).

^†

Significantly different from the ND group (p < 0.05).

^‡

The pre- to posttreatment change in the values for the SDR-PT group was significantly different from the change in the values for the PT group (p < 0.05).

^§

Significantly different from the PT group (p < 0.05).
