Objective To study and analyze the role of pain care in the care of patients undergoing spinal surgery, so as to provide some help for nursing staff to improve the follow-up work. METHODS: The time period of this experiment was from June 2021 to October 2022, and the researchers studied 80 patients undergoing spinal surgery. The patients in the reference group and the observation group were grouped according to the double-blind control principle. The traditional care model was applied to the care of the patients in the reference group, and pain care was implemented in the observation group. Results: Before the intervention, the differences between the VAS pain scores of patients in the reference group and the observation group were minimal, (p>0.05), and the VAS pain scores of patients in both groups decreased significantly at 72 hours after the intervention compared with those before the intervention, and the differences between the data of the groups were not negligible, (p<0.05); the differences between the 5-hydroxytryptamine index, β-endorphin index and The differences in 5-hydroxytryptamine, β-endorphin and neuropeptide Y indicators between the reference group and the observation group before the intervention were not significant (p>0.05), but the levels of pain indicators decreased significantly after the intervention in both groups, and there was a non-negligible difference in the corresponding data between the groups (p<0.05); a total of 35 patients in the reference group were fully and partially adherent to treatment, with a treatment adherence rate of 87.50%, and a total of 39 patients in the observation group were fully and partially adherent to treatment, with a treatment adherence rate of 97.50%. The difference was not negligible, (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The application of pain care in the care of patients undergoing spinal surgery is ideal.
