The Effect of Lumbar Core Muscle Strength Training Combined with Pain Intervention on Lumbar Function and Lower Limb Radiating Pain in Elderly Patients with Lumbar Disc Herniation
Objective To explore the effects of lumbar core muscle strength training combined with pain intervention on lumbar spine function and lower limb radiating pain in elderly patients with lumbar disc herniation(LDH).Methods 80 patients with LDH admitted to our hospital from May 2019 to February 2023 were selected as the study objects,and were divided into a control group and an observation group according to random number table method,with 40 cases in each group.The control group received pain intervention,and the observation group received waist core muscle strength training on the basis of the control group.Lumbar function,lower extremity radiative pain and lumbar motion,core stability and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results After intervention,the scores of the Japanese Orthopaedic Society scoring system in the observation group were higher than those in the control group in all dimensions,the improvement of lower extremity radiative pain and lumbar motion were better than those in the control group,the duration of the single bridge endurance test was longer than that in the control group,and the scores of the comprehensive assessment questionnaire of quality of life in the observation group were higher in all dimensions than that in the control group,with statistical significance(P﹤0.05).Conclusion The combination of lumbar core muscle strength training and pain intervention can effectively alleviate lower limb radiative pain in elderly LDH patients,improve lumbar spine function,improve lumbar range of motion and stability,and enhance quality of life.
