Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score

    Patients selected a number that best reflected their pain intensity, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 represents extreme pain, with higher values indicating greater severity of pain.

    A total of 10 sessions from the start date of treatment (takes approximately 2 months)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Cobb's angle

    A total of 10 sessions from the start date of treatment (takes approximately 2 months)

Study Arms (2)

SRT with SpineCare

EXPERIMENTAL

The Trial Group underwent Spinal realignment therapy with SpineCare

Device: SRT with SpineCare

SRT without SpineCare

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The Control Group underwent Spinal realignment therapy without SpineCare

Device: SRT without SpineCare

Interventions

Korean medicine doctors performed the treatment regimens.The TG underwent SRT with SpineCare. Treat-ment was administered for six consecutive weeks, with sessions held twice per week dur-ing the first four weeks and once per week during the final two weeks. No additional treatments (e.g., procedures or surgeries) were allowed during the six-week period. To an-alyze pain according to the number of treatment sessions, a counselor assessed patients using the NRS after each of the ten treatment sessions. To compare the differences in Cobb's angle between the groups, X-rays were performed after the first and tenth treatment sessions. Detailed records of adverse events were maintained before and after each treat-ment session.
