Objective To analyze and discuss the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese massage combined with self-designed cold prescription washing on lumbar disc herniation. Methods 56 patients with lumbar disc herniation in our hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected as the study objects, and were evenly divided into the observation group (traditional Chinese massage combined with self-prepared cold prescription external washing treatment) and the control group (traditional Chinese massage treatment). The TCM syndrome scores, muscle mechanical performance indexes and lumbar ODI scores before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results Before treatment, there were no differences (p>0.05). After treatment: TCM syndrome score in observation group was higher than that in control group (P<0.05); F/E in observation group was lower than that in control group, PT and AP were higher than those in control group (P<0.05). The lumbar ODI score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion TCM massage combined with self-designed cold prescription external washing has obvious effect on patients with lumbar disc herniation, which is worthy of widespread promotion and application.
