Each row of the table includes the number of patients and percentage (%) that were prescribed interventional treatments or other therapeutic procedures performed on-site at multidisciplinary chronic pain clinics (np) and the number and percentage (%) of prescribed interventional treatments or other therapeutic procedures performed on-site at multidisciplinary chronic pain clinics (ni).
