Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the intervention effect of physical therapy combined with rehabilitation training on lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods: A total of 74 LDH patients admitted from August 2023 to August 2025 were selected and equally divided using a random number table. The combined group received physical therapy combined with rehabilitation training, while the reference group received rehabilitation training alone. The differences in total effective rate and pain scores between the two groups were compared. Results: The combined group exhibited a higher total effective rate, reduced pain scores after 4 weeks of treatment, increased functional recovery scores, expanded lumbar spine mobility, and improved quality of life scores compared to the reference group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Physical therapy combined with rehabilitation training can enhance the total effective rate in LDH patients, alleviate pain symptoms, restore lumbar spine function and joint mobility, and improve patients’ quality of life.
