Objective To analyze the effect of traditional Chinese medicine steam bath pain care combined with lumbar function rehabilitation training in the nursing of patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods A total of 68 patients with LDH treated in our hospital from January 2024 to December 2024 were selected for this study. They were divided into a control group and an experimental group using the random number table method, with 34 cases in each group. The control group received rehabilitation training during nursing, while the experimental group received traditional Chinese medicine steam bath pain care combined with lumbar function rehabilitation training. The nursing conditions of both groups were observed. Results Before nursing, there was no significant difference in VAS scores between the two groups. After nursing, the VAS score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group. Before nursing, there was no significant difference in SAS scores and SDS scores between the two groups. After nursing, the scores of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group. The nursing satisfaction of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. Conclusion In the nursing process of LDH patients, the application of traditional Chinese medicine steam bath pain care combined with lumbar function rehabilitation training has a relatively obvious effect and can significantly improve the pain symptoms of patients.
