To explore the effects of core muscle training combined with comprehensive nursing on postoperative functional recovery and quality of life in patients with lumbar disc herniation(LDH).

A total of 120 patients with LDH who underwent surgical treatment in the hospital from March 2021 to October 2022 were divided into control group and observation group by the random number table method, with 60 cases in each group.The control group was given comprehensive nursing intervention, and the observation group was combined with lumbar core muscle training on this basis.After 2 months of rehabilitation training intervention, the lumbar pain degree, lumbar activity changes, lumbar function recovery and quality of life improvement in the two groups were observed before and after intervention.

After 1 month and 2 months of intervention, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After 2 months of intervention, the activities of anterior flexion, posterior extension and lateral flexion in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). After 2 months of intervention, the score of Meliorate-Japanese Orthopaedic Association (M-JOA) in the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF(WHOQOL-BREF) scores in all fields of observation group were higher than those of control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).

Core muscle training combined with comprehensive nursing intervention can relieve the postoperative lumbar pain degree in patients with LDH receiving surgical treatment, promote the recovery of lumbar physiological activity and lumbar function, and enhance the quality of life of patients.
