  1. *Values reflect scores adjusted for side stenosis, time interval between symptom onset and treatment, BDI (Beck’s depression inventory) and STAI, state-trait anxiety inventory.
  2. CI indicates confidence interval; MD, mean difference; PCA, posterior cerebral artery.
  3. The adjusted scores are calculated on fewer patients than described in the first column due to missing values.
