Fig. 3 Outcome measure scores of PRI at pretreatment, discharge, and follow-up. A decrease in raw score value indicates an improvement in PRI, whereas conversely, an increase in raw score value suggests a deterioration in PRI. (○, painful area; ▿, spinal nerve root; □, control).

Fig. 4 Outcome measure scores of RMDQ at pretreatment, discharge, and follow-up. A decrease in raw score value indicates an improvement in RMDQ levels, whereas conversely, an increase in raw score value suggests a deterioration in RMDQ levels. (○, painful area; ▿, spinal nerve; □, control).

Fig. 5 Outcome measure scores of EuroQol at pretreatment, discharge, and follow-up. Decreases in raw value indicates a worsening in EQ-5D status and vice versa (○, painful area; ▿, spinal nerve root; □, control).
