The VAS scores pre- and immediately post-therapy in two groups.

Pretherapy
(mean ± SE)
Posttherapy
(mean ± SE)

Group I 7 . 7 7 ± 0 . 2 8 1 . 5 4 ± 0 . 3 1 #
Group II 8 . 0 0 ± 0 . 2 8 3 . 0 8 ± 0 . 4 1 #

𝑃 > 0 . 0 5 as compared with Group I; # 𝑃 < 0 . 0 0 5 as compared with pretherapy.
SE: standard error.
