(A) Visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score at rest during the 48-hour study, (B) Visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score on movement during the 48-hour study. Values are mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 (group K versus group C), †P < 0.05 (group D versus group C), (C) Kaplan-Meier graph shows the time it takes to consume all IV-PCA, in each group. Values are expressed as percentages. There were significant differences among the three groups. Graphs were compared with the log-rank test (P = 0.0011 among the three groups, P = 0.0015 group C versus group D, P = 0.0008 group K versus group D).
