172 (p < 0.001) with a HR of 12.4 (95% CI 4.9%- 31.4%), and 4.8 (95% CI 1.8% to 12.6%), respectively 36 . Patients who experienced pain were also more likely (p < 0.001) to shift to an active form of treatment, with a HR of 2.55 (95% CI 1.63%-3.99%) 36 . Cassidy et al. found no association between intervention (i.e., shift to active treatment) and age (p = 0.22), as well as intervention and sex (p = 0.07) 31 . Table 4.
