Fig. 1

Semiquantitative evaluation of pain and weekly analgesics consumption in OA patients during SVF therapy. The mean value (±1SD) of pain (A) and amount of weekly taken analgesic/NSAID drugs (B) significantly decreases after SVF therapy.

Fig. 2

Semiquantitative Score evaluation of 5 parameters: pain, number of analgesics/NSAIDs per week, limping at walk, joint stiffness and extent of joint movement. The significant improvement in Score (*) was observed after SVF therapy compared to status before SVF therapy (p < 0.001). Means ± SD [box] and ±1.96 SD [bars] are shown.
