Results from Group-Based Trajectory Modelling (GBTM) of the weekly scores on neuropathic pain and spasticity. a. Neuropathic pain scores obtained from the McGill Pain Questionnaire. Dots represent the averages across participants in that group for each week starting from baseline (Week 0), and the lines represent the model. Participants with low initial pain scores showed minimal change over time (Group 1 – circles, solid line, n = 6). Participants with pain scores above 10 showed an increase then decrease to baseline (Group 2 – squares, dashed line, n = 3). Maximum score is 78. b. Spasticity from the Spinal Cord Assessment Tool for Spastic reflexes (SCATS), shown in the same format as a. Group 1 (n = 3, circles, solid line) consisted of participants with low initial spasticity (SCATS ≤0.5), who showed an increase then decrease in their spasticity. Group 2 (n = 5, squares, dashed line) consisted of participants with higher initial spasticity scores (SCATS ≥4.5), who did not show changes over time. Maximum score is 18
