Effect of Hufu Tongbian scraping nursing technique on lumbar function and negative emotions of patients with lumbar disc herniation
ABSTRACT:Objective To investigate the effect of Hufu Tongbian scraping nursing technique on the lumbar function and negative emotions of patients with lumbar disc herniation.Methods A total of 106 patients with lumbar disc herniation admitted to the Department of Acupuncture and Massage and Department of Rehabilitation of Taizhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from January 2018 to April 2023 were enrolled by convenience sampling.They were grouped by using a random number table.The control group (53 cases) received routine nursing,and the observation group (53 cases) received Hufu Tongbian scraping nursing technique combined with routine nursing.The lumbar function,pain,and negative emotions of the two groups were evaluated.Results After 4 weeks of intervention,the Oswestry Disability Index ( ODI) score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).After 1,2,and 4 weeks of intervention,the ODI scores of both groups were lower than those at admission (all P<0.05).After 4 weeks of intervention,the flexion of lumbar spine in the observation group was greater than that in the control group ( P<0.05 ).After 1,2,and 4 weeks of intervention,the extension of lumbar spine in the observation group was greater than that in the control group ( all P<0.05 ),and the flexion and extension of lumbar spine in both groups were greater than those before intervention ( all P<0.05 ).After 1,2,and 4 weeks of intervention,the Visual Analogue Scale scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group ( all P<0.05 ),and the scores of both groups were lower than those at admission ( all P<0.05).After 4 weeks of intervention,the scores of the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and the Self-Rating Depression Scale in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( both P<0.05),and the scores of both groups were lower than those at admission (all P<0.05).Conclusion Hufu Tongbian scraping nursing technique combined with routine nursing can significantly improve the lumbar function of patients with lumbar disc herniation,reduce the intensity of pain,and relieve the negative emotions.
