The participant is asked to report their low back pain and discomfort using NRS, where 0 indicates 'no pain or discomfort' and 10 indicates 'the most severe pain and discomfort imaginable'.

  Change from baseline NRS at 4 days

Secondary Outcomes (8)

• Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of Low back pain

  Baseline(day2), day3, day4, day of discharge(up to 14days)

• Numeric Rating Scale(NRS) of leg pain

  Baseline(day2), day3, day4, day of discharge(up to 14days), week12

• Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of leg pain

  Baseline(day2), day3, day4, day of discharge(up to 14days)

• Physical examination (Lumbar range of motion)

  Baseline(day2), day3, day4, day of discharge(up to 14days)

• Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

  Baseline(day2), day4, day of discharge(up to 14days), week12
