description Patients presenting with waking spinal symptoms to medical services, are a common clinical occurrence, yet treatment is largely based on anecdotal information. A validated measure of sleep posture was developed and used to assess sleep posture in non-symptomatic and symptomatic patients.

Further, waking symptoms and sleep quality also improved to 16 weeks follow-up.
