Core Tip Lumbar spinal stenosis is a common cause of pain and functional limitation in older adults. Surgery is frequently performed, but its long-term superiority over conservative treatments remains controversial. This study found no significant long-term difference between surgical and conservative treatments regarding pain relief, walking distance, and functionality. However, the surgical group showed greater improvements in disability scores. These findings support the use of supervised physical therapy as an effective first-line treatment, potentially reducing the need for surgery.
