Baseline values are raw means, all other are adjusted means from ANCOVA model.

BL Baseline, d day.

*Change from baseline (95% confidence interval), percentage change, p value. Percentage change calculated as 100*[(Treatment–BL)/BL].

**Difference (95% confidence interval), percentage change, p value: first-named minus second-named group such that, for Schiff sensitivity score, a negative difference favours the first-named group or, for tactile threshold, a positive difference favours the first-named group. Percentage change calculated as: 100*[(overall mean BL value + Test adjusted change from baseline)−(overall mean BL value + Control adjusted change from baseline)/(overall mean BL value + Control adjusted change from baseline)].
