VAS, visual analog scale; SD, standard deviation; SF-36, 36-item short-form general health survey.

1

Pain frequency was classified into four levels: 0, no pain; 1, several times a year; 2, several times a month; 3, several times a week.

2

The VAS ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating more severe pain.

3

Quality of life scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.

4

SF-36 physical and mental health component scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better physical and mental states.
