P02.18. Clinically meaningful differences in pain and disability after cupping treatment for chronic neck pain: reanalysis of 4 randomized controlled trials
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose The assessment of clinically meaningful differences in patients’ self-reported outcomes has become more important when interpreting the results of clinical studies. In conventional medicine these assessments are common; however, there is still doubt whether these results apply to complementary trials. The aim of this analysis is the determination of minimal clinically important differences (MCID) and substantial clinical benefits (SCB) in patients with chronic non-specific neck pain after cupping treatment. The MCID and SCB for pain intensity (VAS) and neck disability index (NDI) were estimated using common anchor-based methods.
