Table 2 Classification Characteristics and Pain Score Profiles of Patients Exhibiting Parabolic Pain Changes
Figure 1 In the overall population (Total), pain severity scores exhibit a weekly declining trend, with a slower decline observed in the 75 and above age group and slightly lower initial pain scores in the 59 and below age group.
Figure 2 Among individuals displaying a parabolic change in pain scores (Total 1), pain severity scores exhibit a parabolic trend characterized by an initial increase followed by a decrease. In the 59 and below age group, there is a notable upward trend at 1 week, followed by a rapid decline, whereas the 75 and above age group shows a prominent upward trend at 2 weeks with evident delayed onset, followed by a gradual decrease.
Figure 3 Pain severity scores show significant differences when compared to the overall population.
