Figure 1 Visit-wise 24-hour average pain severity scores between patients who completed therapy phase and those who discontinued early in DPNP studies.

Values are means across all treatments and studies.

*p value < 0.05 between group differences. Avg, average; COM, completers; D/C, discontinue.

(N) denotes number of patients at specific time point.
