Relationship between Nontraumatic Shoulder Disorders and Neuropathic Pain: Retrospective Observational Analyses of Clinical Features and Background Factors

Table 3

The effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals of the differences in mean pain intensity at rest, on motion, and during the night between the two groups.

	d	95% CI (lower limit and upper limit)
VAS score (mm)
Rest	1.1	−36.5, −13.0
Motion	0.7	−30.9, −2.3
Night	0.7	−36.3, −4.4

The 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean pain intensity between the two groups does not include 0, indicating that pain intensity was higher in patients with neuropathic pain than in patients without neuropathic pain. VAS, visual analog scale; d, Cohen’s d (effect size); CI, confidence interval.
