Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of symptom limited exercise combined with suspension exercise therapy in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain(CNLBP).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 80 CNLBP patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of Chi-na from January 2020 to June 2023.Patients were divided into a conventional treatment group and a suspension treatment group according to different treatment methods.The pain level of patients was evaluated before and after treatment using Visual Analog Scale(VAS),and Oswestry Disability Index(ODI)was used to assess lumbar dysfunction,in order to comprehensively analyze the treatment effect.The recurrence rate and patient satisfaction was recorded through follow-up scales.Results After a 4-week treatment cycle,22 patients were lost to follow-up,and ultimately 80 patients were in-cluded in the study,with 40 in the conventional treatment group and 40 in the suspension treatment group.The VAS score of the suspension treatment group decreased from(5.10±1.13)points before treatment to(1.48±0.91)points after treatment,and the ODI score improved from(30.98±5.48)points before treatment to(21.35±2.77)points af-ter treatment;Compared with the conventional treatment group,the suspension treatment group had a more significant therapeutic effect(P<0.001).The one-year follow-up data showed that the recurrence rate of the suspension treatment group was 32.5%,which was lower than the 67.5%of the conventional treatment group(x2=14.532,P<0.001).The exercise compliance score of the suspension treatment group[(24.18±2.38)points]was higher than that of the con-ventional group[(17.23±3.31)points],and the difference was statistically significant(t=-10.955,P<0.001).Conclusions Symptom limited exercise combined with suspension exercise therapy can not only effectively alleviate pain and improve lumbar function in patients with CNLBP,but also reduce the recurrence rate of the disease.
