Pain alleviation and functional improvement: ultra-early patient-reported outcome measures after full endoscopic spine surgery

These results illustrate a biphasic rehabilitation process wherein initial pain alleviation transitions into functional improvement over time.PMID:38181496 | DOI:10.3171/2023.11.SPINE231048
