  1. Data is represented by the median (interquartile range, IQR) and Δ median is the change from baseline, n = 29. Statistical analysis was performed using the non-parametric Friedman test followed by Dunn’s multiple comparisons test, showing the rank sum difference from baseline. p-value represents the significance of the treatment compared to baseline
