2. The SRM in the group of patients who reported there was a difference between T0 and T3 in pain and function is expected to be ≥ 0.8. | 1.39 | Yes |
3. The ES in the group of patients who reported there was a difference between T0 and T3 in pain or function is expected to be ≥ 0.4. | 1.02 | Yes |
4. The SRM in the group of patients who reported there was a difference between T0 and T3 in pain or function is expected to be ≥ 0.4. | 1.59 | Yes |
5. The ES in the group of patients who reported there was no difference between T0 and T3 in pain and function is expected to be ≤ 0.2. | 0.33 | No |
6. The SRM in the group of patients who reported there was no difference between T0 and T3 in pain and function is expected to be ≤ 0.2. | 0.30 | No |
7. The ES in the group of patients who reported there was a difference between T0 and T3 in pain and function is expected to be ≥ 0.2 larger than the ES in the group of patients who reported there was a difference in pain or function between T0 and T3. | Yes | |
8. The SRM in the group of patients who reported there was a difference between T0 and T3 in pain and function is expected to be ≥ 0.2 larger than the SRM in the group of patients who reported there was a difference in pain or function between T0 and T3. | Yes | |
