At 3 months, sciatica relief (VAS <4) was recorded in 66.6% of HIV positive patients and in 70.6% of HIV negative patients. Relief of pain in the low back (VAS <4) was respectively 50.0% and 55.1% in both groups. The pattern of pain regression during the follow-up period was similar in both groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
