3.4. Pre- and post-comparisons of WOMAC scores of the experimental group
knee osteoarthritis, pain
OSTEOARTHRITIS, KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS
The pain score showed a statistically significant decrease from baseline to 2 and 3 months, from 13.16 to 1.88 and 13.16 to 1.88, respectively. The stiffness score decreased statistically from baseline to 2 and 3 months, from 4.88 to 0.38 and 4.88 to 0.33. In addition, there was a statistically significant decrease in physical function scores from baseline to 2 and 3 months, from 38.38 to 5.72 and 38.38 to 5.05. The total WOMAC score had a statistically significant decrease from baseline to 2 and 3 months, from 56.44 to 8.33 and 56.44 to 7.27 (See Table Comparisons of WOMAC score information of patients with knee osteoarthritis between study steps (per-protocol approach) in the experimental group.Bonferroni correction was performed for statistical analyses.WOMAC = Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index.
