Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

    Time frame: The results are measured for each patient at admission (before) and discharge (after) from January 2021 to December 31, 2023.

    NRS uses an 11-point scale to evaluate current main pain and radiating pain where no pain is indicated by '0', and the worst pain imaginable by '10'.

Secondary outcomes

  1. euroqol-5 dimension (EQ-5D)

    Time frame: The results are measured for each patient at admission (before) and discharge (after) from January 2021 to December 31, 2023.

    EQ-5D is most widely used as a method of indirectly calculating the quality of life from various aspects. The EQ-5D consists of 5 questions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain, anxiety/depression) that ask about the current state of health, and answers each question with 5 likert. (1=I have no problems about, 2=I have slight problems about, 3=I have moderate problems about, 4=I have severe problems about, 5=I am unable to about).

  2. Neck Disability Index (NDI)

    Time frame: The results are measured for each patient at admission (before) and discharge (after) from January 2021 to December 31, 2023.

    NDI is a functional disability questionnaire. The possible range of each item score is 0 to 5. Total score range is 0 (better outcome) to 100 (worse outcome).

  3. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

    Time frame: The results are measured for each patient at admission (before) and discharge (after) from January 2021 to December 31, 2023.

    ODI is a 10-item questionnaire developed to evaluate the degree of disability for lower back pain. Each item is divided into 6 levels, and 0 to 5 points are awarded. The higher the score, the greater the degree of disability.

  4. Adverse Events (AE)

    Time frame: The period of hospitalization is limited to January 2021 to December 2023.
