The duration of treatment was 20 days. Results: After treatment, the pain severity according to VAS of the study group decreased from 5.68 ± 0.46 points to 1.83 ± 0.75 points (p < 0.05); comparable to the pain severity after treatment of the control group (p > 0.05). The patients’ daily activities in the control group were improved better than those at the baseline (p < 0.05), the outcomes of the study group was comparable to those of the control group (p > 0.05).
