The third outcome variable was the sensory and motor status, directed to the lumbar 2 to sacral one dermatome and myotome. Sensory had three categories, intact, impaired, and diminished, and the motor score was determined by the universal system of Oxford muscle grading (0–5). The fourth was the straight leg raise (SLR) test, ranging from positive and negative. Any provocation of leg radicular symptoms within 75 degrees is considered positive.25 (link) The fifth outcome variables were the equine cauda syndrome (CES) as the red flag signs of lumbar radiculopathy diagnosed according to NICE guideline.26 (link) The presence of any one symptom of CES was considered positive. All outcomes were documented for baseline, discharge, and follow-up, and MRI changes were recorded at baseline and follow-up.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
