SRM, standardized response mean = mean change/SD.

*

P-value is comparing mean change scores between the two groups.

MCS indicates mental component score; ODI, Oswestry disability index; PCS, physical component score; PROMIS, patient reported outcomes measurement information system; SD, standard deviation; SF-12, Short-Form 12.
