The patients were clinically examined, took X-ray
of the cervical spine, and assessed pain according to the VAS scale at the time D0, D3, D7 and D14. Comparison of pain levels in the study group and the control group at the respective time points.
Results: The pain level of all 75 patients (study group and control group) improved with the time, the pain level at the latter timewas significantly lower than the previous timepoint(p<0,05). Morespecifically, thepain level of the study group decreased faster than the control group at the same time of evaluation (p<0,05), especially the first week of treatment.
