One-year follow-up of conservative and surgical treatment results for patients diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis

However, complementary advantages were observed: Conservative management demonstrated superior improvement in SSS functional subscales, while surgery yielded greater gains in daily living activities and low-back-pain-related disability.
