Visual analog scale (VAS) and neck disabilityindex (NDI) were compared after treatment. Results 1) Both the ShinBaro group and Jungsongouhyul group showed significant improvementin the visual analog scale (VAS) and neck disability index (NDI) after 3 weeks oftreatment. 2) The VAS and NDI of the ShinBaro group decreased gradually with treatment. The VAS scores showed significant improvement up to week 2, but although week 3showed further improvement compared to week 2, the difference did not reach statisticalsignificance. The NDI scores showed significant improvement consistantly throughout thetreatment period. 3) The VAS and NDI of the Jungsongouhyul group decreased with treatmentalso. The VAS scores significantly improved up to week 2, but though week 3showed further improvement in comparison to week 2, the difference did not reach statisticalsignificance. The NDI scores showed significant improvement consistantly throughoutthe treatment period. 4) Although the ShinBaro group showed a swifter decline thanthe Jungsongouhyul group in both VAS and NDI scores, the difference was not statisticallysignificant.
