    Fig 2.

    Boxplot of median values and SDs of pain-intensity levels indicated by the patients on the VAS. The first column of each group represents the preinterventional evaluation (VAS1), and the second column of each group shows the postinterventional pain course after 1 month (VAS2). CT indicates CT-guided interventions; US, ultrasound-guided interventions.
