Numerical rating scale (NRS) of back (A) and leg (B) pain, and Oswestry disability index (ODI; (C)) at baseline (0), and at 1, 3, and 6 months after epidural decompression and adhesiolysis with a balloon-inflatable catheter. The patients were divided into groups of less than 50%, 50–85%, and 85% success rate depending on the rate of successful ballooning procedures per target site. ** p < 0.01 vs. baseline. *** p < 0.001 vs. baseline. †
p < 0.05 compared with the below 50% group at each time point. ††
p < 0.01 compared with the below 50% group at each time point. †††
p < 0.001 compared with the below 50% group at each time point. The data are presented as estimated mean ± 95% confidence interval.
