Abstract:Objective To observe the effect of lumbar traction combined with physical therapy in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation(LDH).Methods A total of 68 patients with LDH admitted to Zhenjiang Ruikang Hospital from March to July 2020 were enrolled as the research objects.They were divided into the treatment group and the control group by random double-blind method,with 34 cases in each group.Patients in the control group only received lumbar traction,and patients in the treatment group were treated with physical therapy on the basis of the control group.The clinical efficacy,pain improvement,straight leg elevation angle and lumbar function recovery of the two groups were observed.Results After treatment,the total clinical effective rate of the treatment group and the control group was 94.12% and 70.59%,respectively.The total clinical effective rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Before treatment,there were no statistically significant differences in the visual analogue scale(VAS),emotional pain rating index(emotional PRI),and sensory PRI scores between the two groups(P>0.05).After treatment,the scores of VAS,emotional PRI,and sensory PRI in the treatment group were lower than those of the same group before treatment and in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Before treatment,there were no significant differences in the straight leg elevation angle and Oswestry disability index(ODI)score between the two groups(P>0.05).After treatment,the straight leg elevation angle in the treatment group was higher than that of the same group before treatment and in the control group,and the ODI score was lower than that of the same group before treatment and in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Lumbar traction combined with physical therapy can significantly improve the clinical efficacy of LDH patients,relieve their pain,improve lumbar spine function and lower limb dysfunction,and provide a new theoretical basis for clinical treatment of LDH.
