The corrected figures are displayed below.

Figure 5. Patients’ Global Impression of Change. ‘Minimally/not improved’ summarizes the PGIC categories ‘minimally improved’, ‘no change’, ‘minimally worse’, ‘much worse’ and ‘very much worse’.
Figure 6. Global evaluation of the 5% lidocaine medicated plaster by clinicians and patients at final visits.
