CR, controlled release; VAS, Visual Analogue Scale; EQ-5D, EuroQoL 5D; EQ-5D VAS, EuroQoL 5D Visual Analogue Scale; ODI, Oswestry Disability Index.
Values of VAS and EQ-5D VAS are expressed as mean with standard deviation (SD). Values of EQ-5D and ODI are expressed as median with an inter-quartile range (IQR) in parenthesis. p<0.05: statistically significant.
*Paired t-test: to compare VAS, EQ5D VAS of pre- and post-treatment in each group, †Unpaired t-test: to compare VAS, EQ5D VAS between aceclofenac CR and aceclofenac groups, ‡Mann-Whitney U test: to compare EQ-5D, ODI change of pre-and post-treatment in each group, §Wilcoxon signed rank test: to compare EQ-5D, ODI change between aceclofenac CR and aceclofenac groups.
