  • Mean score (standard deviation, n) shown at each time-point.

  • a Point estimates (95% CI, P-values) shown for differences between groups and changes within group. Estimates >0 from differences between groups favour LNG-IUS. Results at each time-point adjusted for baseline score. Change within group compared to baseline. 0 = worst affected, 100 = not affected. LNG-IUS = levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system. UMT = usual medical treatment.
