Background context: Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS) is one of the most common spinal pathologies in India. Spinal stenosis is narrowing of the spinal canal with encroachment on the neural structures by surrounding bone and soft tissue. While it is widely held that conservative management should be the first line of approach in patients with LSS, little is known about the efficacy of non-surgical treatments for this condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
