Figure 2 Changes in the 50% mechanical withdrawal threshold with timeData are presented as the median with the 1st and 3rd quartiles. The Conover test was performed for post hoc multiple comparisons. Group S, sham surgery; Group T, traumatic brain injury; Group K, Intrathecal ketamine group; POD, postoperative day. * P<0.05 compared with Group S. # P<0.05 compared with Group T. The graphs in this figure were produced using MedCalc version18.11.6 (MedCalc Software bvba, Ostend, Belgium).
