Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Analyze the average change in NRS. Descriptive statistics are presented for NRS, meaning test for differences between groups using independent two-sample t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test, and significance test for variation within the group using paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test. When comparing the ratio differences that distinguish the operational categories between groups, the significance is tested using the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. | — |
