Fig. 2 Comparison of mean fatigue scores for placebo- and MP-treated groups according to three indices of fatigue. Results reported as mean fatigue scores at baseline (Day 0), Days 3, 7, and 14. Key: a=significantly different between Days 0 and 14 with P<0.05; b=significantly different between placebo and control with P<0.05.
