The median satisfaction score among patients using the Lidocaine Patch varies depending on whether we consider all patients or only current users. For all patients, the median satisfaction score was 5, while for current plaster users, it was higher at 7. This indicates that those who continued using the lidocaine plaster reported greater satisfaction compared to the overall patient group. Additionally, the data shows a reduction in median pain scores from 8 before plaster use to 6 overall and 5 for current users after one month, suggesting a correlation between pain relief and satisfaction levels.
