Abstract：Objective To study the method and curative effect of rehabilitation in patients after hypothermia plasma radiofrequency current ablation nucleoplasty. Methods From June 2007 to June 2009，60 patients with definite diagnosis of lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion were randomly assigned to the treatment group（27 cases）and conventional group（33 cases）. On postoperative day 1, the patients in treatment group began to undergo rehabilitative treatment, including ultra-short wave，midband treatment，traction treatment and exercise treatment. On discharge from the hospital, patients were advised to take some precautions.Results The two groups showed some degree of recovery, with significant difference from the preoperative status. The pain of the waist and leg was markedly released or disappeared. The symptoms in the two groups were obviously ameliorated after operation. VAS dropped from 7.5 to 3.2 in the treatment group and from 7.8 to 3.7 points in the common group. Compression pain and local edema were serious in postoperative 3-7 days but were alleviated gradually. After three months, VAS decreased to 1.3 in the treatment group and symptoms were not aggravated obviously. Conclusions Postoperative rehabilitation management，including elimination of inflammation, detumescence, amelioration of blood circulation, relief of pain and exercise, can relieve and eliminate symptoms of edema of the nerve root, lessen local inflammatory reaction, promote recovery of the nerve and eliminate the pain. The rehabilitation management improves locomotive activity of the leg and waist, reinforces the surgical curative effect, and prevents relapse.
