Patient Outcomes – Patient outcomes by region for the Pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS): M (SD).

	Baseline	Discharge	Point Change	% Change	P-Value
CS (n=38)	6.5 (2.5)	4.7 (3.0)	−1.8	−28.3	0.00009
TS (n=46)	6.7 (2.3)	5.2 (3.0)	−1.5	−22.3	0.0004
LS (n=55)	6.8 (2.5)	4.8 (2.9)	−2.0	−30.1	0.000001
SI (n=25)	7.7 (2.8)	5.2 (3.4)	−2.5	−32.8	0.001
Ext (n=35)	7.3 (2.1)	4.9 (3.0)	−2.4	−33.2	0.00003

Legend: MCID for chronic musculoskeletal pain for NRS is −1 point, or −15% from baseline (Salaffi et al., 2004); p-values are derived from 2-tailed paired T-tests, significant differences are p<0.05). CS is cervical spine; TS is thoracic spine; LS is lumbar spine; SI is sacroiliac region, Ext is extremity. MCID is minimally clinically important difference.
