A total of 146 participants with low back pain were enrolled in a study. Participants were divided into two groups: the back-school group received exercise, physical treatment modalities and a back school program; and the control group received exercise and physical therapy modalities. They were evaluated on the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS, scoring 0-10; 0 representing “no pain” and 10 “worst pain ever”) and the difference scores of post-treatment minus pre-treatment were compared between groups. Which statistics did the researchers use?
