CI 1: 95% Confidence interval for WBFS score among four groups by Kruskal-Wallis H-test;
CI 2: 95% Confidence interval for NRS score among four groups by Kruskal-Wallis H-test
*P < 0.05, the difference was significant compared with group C by Dunnett’s T3 test;
∆ P < 0.05, compared with group F and M, the WBFS and NRS in group M was significant lower through Dunnett’s T3 test
