  1. The TSK is not included in the table above as it could not be appropriately analysed due to a significant interaction effect between treatment and score at screening
  2. # The CPAQ Pain Willingness subscale could not be appropriately analysed between 3 months and baseline due to a significant interaction effect between treatment and score at baseline
  3. Negative differences indicate higher scores in the Physiotherapy arm whilst positive differences indicate lower scores in the Physiotherapy arm
