The study was conducted as a retrospective observation study which analyze the patient’s medical records. We used visual analogue scale (VAS) to evaluate pain reduction and neck disability index (NDI) to evaluate function improvement twice (hospitalization day and 5 days later). Statistical analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS statistics 25 program.

Both ‘Go-bang’ and ‘Huse-bang’groups showed a statistically significant VAS reduction and improvement of NDI on the fifth day of hospitalization. In the ‘Huse-bang’ group, there was a statistically significant improvement of NDI than in the ‘Go-bang’ group.
