Clinical application of silent therapy relaxation exercise in patients with severe osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures combined with scoliosis after surgery
Objective:To explore the clinical application of relaxation exercise using silent therapy in patients with severe osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures(OVCF)combined with scoliosis after surgery.Methods:A total of 96 patients with severe OVCF combined with scoliosis admitted to our hospital from Jul 2020 to Jul 2022 were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into two groups,with 48 cases in each group.The control group received routine care,while the observation group received relaxation exercise based on the control group.The visual analog scale(VAS),Oswestry Disability Index(ODI),Japanese Orthopaedic Association Low Back Pain Assessment Scale(JOA),and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)scores were compared between the two groups at different times.Results:The PSQI,VAS and ODI scores in the observation group after 7,14,and 28 days of intervention were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The JOA in the observation group after 7,14,and 28 days of intervention were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Silent therapy relaxation exercise can improve the sleep quality and reduce the degree of pain in patients with severe OVCF combined with scoliosis after surgery.
