All the participants were examined through their clinical symptoms including pain, by parentheses, and also using the Levine-Katz Questionnaire before and after the open surgical operation. Additionally, patients with electrophysiological (EP) disorders were evaluated using electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) (EMG-NCV) tests. Then, the association of the findings and results of this study was analyzed and then compared together using a particular statistical analysis model before and after the surgical procedure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The data achieved from the present study demonstrated that a significant improvement in both sexes and age groups was observed, and there was no significant difference in the level of improvement based on age and gender.
