Table 2 –
Mean and mean differences in pain scores at various points of follow-up, the data for Figure 5
Placebo (N = 50) | Drug (N = 50) | Difference | 95% CI | p value | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Baseline | 6.0 (0.47) | 5.9 (0.59) | 0.1 | −0.2, 0.3 | 0.6 |
1 mo | 3.1 (0.44) | 2.0 (0.55) | 1.0 | 0.8, 1.2 | <0.0001 |
6 mo | 4.0 (0.43) | 3.9 (0.55) | 0.1 | −0.1, 0.3 | 0.2 |
CI = confidence interval.
The difference is calculated as the mean pain score in the drug arm subtracted from the mean pain score in the placebo arm. The p values are generated from the Wald test.
