Objective To analyze the effectiveness of selective spinal nerve root block (Selective spinal nerve root block, SNRB) in treating lumbar disc herniation (Lumbar disc herniation, LDH). Methods A total of 80 patients with LDH admitted from September 2023 to November 2024 were randomly divided into an observation group (SSNRB) and a control group [paravertebral nerve block] (Paravertebral nerve block, PVB), each consisting of 40 cases. The levels of inflammatory factors, lumbar range of motion, spinal stability indicators, quality of life, and adverse reactions before and after treatment were compared. Results The incidence of inflammatory factors (such as interleukin-6) and adverse reactions (such as abdominal pain) in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, while the scores for lumbar range of motion (such as extension) and quality of life (such as health status) were higher in the observation group (P<0.05); the levels of spinal stability indicators (such as the vertical axis of the sagittal plane of the lumbar spine) were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion SNRB treatment for LDH patients is effective and has a high safety profile.
