Objective:

Revise to remove implications about the significance of the rim enhancement sign.

Key Findings:
  • Statistically significant differences in herniation volume and overall resorption rate at 1 and 3 years post-treatment (P < 0.05).
  • Significant improvement in JOA scores, ODI, and SLRT positive angle at 6 years between the two groups (P < 0.05).
  • Positive correlations between improvement rates of JOA scores, ODI, SLRT positive angle, and resorption rate (P < 0.05).
  • Baseline herniation volume was the strongest independent predictor of JOA improvement rate (P < 0.001).
Interpretation:

Remove this section entirely.

Limitations:
  • Single-arm study design limits the ability to draw definitive conclusions about the specific contribution of inflammation preservation.
  • Lack of a control group for comparison.
Conclusion:

Revise to reflect only the findings without implications about potential or significance.
