The answer is 20%. The Q is: How much of a difference from natural course do patients feel is worthwhile given benefits, harms and costs being explained to them?

Amongst other things, this is a great example of clinician scientists who continually question even their own data and then act to move the field forward - good science wouldn’t I agree 🎩

What was once a mission to isolate VMO and improve the 'timing' compared to the VL needs to change to: 1. good explanation of diagnosis 2.eliminating catastrophic beliefs 3. improving adherence with the highest level of quad strengthening that is without acceptable pain limits.
