Systematic Review of Outcomes following 10-Year Mark of Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial for Intervertebral Disc Herniation

Abstract

MiniWe summarized the 10-year outcomes of Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial for intervertebral disc herniation through a systematic review. The observational cohort 2-year analysis and the as-treated analysis of the randomized control trial at 4 and 8 years showed statistically greater improvements in those patients who were treated surgically.
