Objective To analyze the effects of scraping and cupping combined with traditional Chinese medicine nursing measures on patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. Methods In this study, 90 patients with lumbar disc herniation in our hospital were selected as the research sample, and they were divided into two groups according to the principle of random allocation: control group (45 cases, receiving routine nursing intervention) and research group (45 cases, receiving scraping combined with cupping and traditional Chinese medicine nursing). The data related to the nursing effectiveness of the two groups of patients were collected and collated, and a detailed and in-depth comparative analysis was carried out. Results Compared with the control group, the pain score of the patients in the study group decreased significantly, and the lumbar spine function score and quality of life score were significantly improved. The differences between these groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion For patients suffering from lumbar disc herniation, the combination of scraping and cupping therapy with traditional Chinese medicine can significantly promote the recovery of lumbar spine function, effectively reduce pain, and improve the quality of life of patients.
