analyses indicated that the control groups of both surgery
conditions did not differ significantly from each other across all
of the time points. The treated CCI group displayed significantly
more improvement than the treated L5 group immediately
following treatment on day 1, and again on day 6, day 8 through
day 11, day 14, and post-treatment day 5. The results indicate that
the CCI group responded to treatment sooner than the L5 group
and the treatment effect was maintained longer as well. These
findings suggest that the L5 group and CCI group responded
differently to hyperbaric oxygen treatment
