Changes in the Barthel index (a), Eq5D5L (b), visual analog scale (c), and face scale (d) scores of participants after propensity score matching at baseline. When the changes over time were compared, there was no statistically significant difference in the Eq5D5L score, Barthel index, VAS score, or facial scale score between the spine stabilization with decompression and spine stabilization without decompression groups. The data are the means (SDs).
