This study is a single-center randomized controlled trial, aiming to explore the effect of moxibustion combined with the modified Baduanjin exercise regimen on the early rehabilitation of patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) after minimally invasive surgery. A total of 120 patients were included in the study and randomly divided into the control group (conventional treatment and rehabilitation care), the Baduanjin group (conventional treatment + modified Baduanjin), and the combined intervention group (conventional treatment + Baduanjin + moxibustion). By comparing the visual pain scores (VAS), lumbar function scores (JOA), lumbar range of motion, and anxiety scale (HAMA) changes at 1 day, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery, the study evaluated the improvement effect of the integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine rehabilitation plan on postoperative pain relief, functional recovery, and psychological state. The study innovatively integrates the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion for warming and promoting meridians and the low-intensity exercise of the modified Baduanjin, optimizes the difficulty of traditional rehabilitation training, and provides evidence-based basis for improving patient compliance and standardizing postoperative rehabilitation programs.
