Abstract：Objective To evaluate the recovery and prognosis of traditional Chinese medicine nursing for non-surgical treatment of lumbar disc herniation.Methods 117 patients with lumbar disc prolapse from March, 2017 to June, 2018 in the hospital were re-garded as the study object, and patients with non-surgical treatment, according to whether to adopt traditional Chinese medicine nursing after treatment were divided into control group and observation group. 58 cases of control group adopted routine nursing mode, and 59 patients in observation group received traditional Chinese medicine nursing. JOA low back pain score, the ODI index scoreand Karnofsky score of two groups were compared.Results JOA score of patients of two groups before nursing was not statistically sig-nificant (P＞0.05), and JOA scores improved after treatment. Increase of observation group was obviously better than the controlgroup, data between groups was statistically significant (P＜0.05). There was no statistical significance of ODI index score betweenpatients of two groups before nursing (P＞0.05). JOA scores of two groups both increased. The increase level of observation group washigher than control group. There was statistically significant difference between two group (P＜0.05). There is no statistical signifi-cance of Karnofsky score between 2 groups before nursing (P＞0.05), Karnofsky score after nursing in observation group was betterthan control group, and there was statistically significant difference between two groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion The non-surgicaltreatment of traditional Chinese medicine in patients with lumbar disc prolapse can effectively improve the patients' clinical symptoms and the degree of pain, relieve lumbar dysfunction, and improve their quality of life. So it is worthy of clinical application.
