*p-value of less than 0.05 is considered statistically significant for trend in changes of ASIA motor and sensory scores in two different study groups.

δ Statistically higher ASIA motor or sensory score in progesterone and vitamin D group when compared to placebo group using independent t-test (p < 0.05).
