Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Post-injection pain score

    Time frame: at 2 weeks after injection

    Before and after the OE muscle injection, patients were asked to rate their pain score using a 10-point numeric rating scale (NRS; 0=no pain, 10=worst possible pain). We also assessed the degree of patient satisfaction as excellent, good, fair, and bad during 2 weeks after injection. In this period, any analgesic medications did not change in all patients. Complications associated with OE muscle injection were investigated.
