3.3. Pre- and post-comparisons of WOMAC scores of the second control group
knee osteoarthritis, pain
OSTEOARTHRITIS, KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS
The pain score was a statistically significant decrease from baseline to 2 and 3 months, from 14.13 to 5.69 and 14.13 to 5.69, respectively. The stiffness score was also a statistically significant decrease from baseline to 2 and 3 months, from 4.81 to 1.56 and 4.81 to 1.44, respectively. Likewise, physical function scores saw a statistically significant decrease from baseline to 2 and 3 months, from 42.06 to 13.31 and 42.06 to 23.19. And the total WOMAC score saw a statistically significant decrease from baseline to 2 and 3 months, from 61.00 to 19.69 and 61.00 to 23.19, respectively. However, regarding the physical function score, there was a significant difference between 2 and 3 months, and the score increased from 13.31 to 23.19 (Comparisons of WOMAC score of patients with knee osteoarthritis between study steps (per-protocol approach) in the control groups.Bonferroni correction was performed for statistical analyses.WOMAC = Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index.
