Table 3 Non-parametric correlation of change in serum cytokine and neurotransmitter levels from baseline to 2-months with change in WOMAC pain at 2-month post-injection in painful TKA, showing statistically significant associations

From: Cytokine and neuropeptide levels are associated with pain relief in patients with chronically painful total knee arthroplasty: a pilot study

IL7 −0.42 0.01
IL8 −0.51 0.002
IL9 −0.50 0.002

  1. *Data from 35 patients were available
  2. Only those cytokines that had a significant p-value <0.05 are listed in bold; other cytokines were not significantly associated with change in WOMAC pain at 2-month post-TKA
