Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of semiconductor laser therapy combined with auricular pressure beans on postoperative pain and limb movement in patients with lumbar disc herniation undergoing low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation. Methods A total of 100 patients with lumbar disc herniation undergoing low-temperature plasma radiofrepuency ablation admitted to the orthopedic ward of the Eye Hospital China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from January 2021 to January 2022 were included, according to the random number table method, the patients were divided into control group and study group, with 50 cases in each group. The control group was treated with routine care and semiconductor laser therapy. The study group was treated with auricular pressure beans therapy on the basis of the control group. Postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score, and length of hospital stay, and clinical efficacy were compared between the two groups. Results Overall analysis found that there were significant differences in VAS, JOA and ODI scores, inter-group and interaction between the two groups (P＜0.05). Intra-group comparison, VAS, JOA scores, and ODI scores of the two groups were compared at each time point after surgery, and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05). Compared between groups, VAS and ODI scores of the study group were lower than those of the control group at one, three and five days after surgery, JOA score was higher than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05). The postoperative hospitalization time of the study group was shorter than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05). The clinical effect of the study group was better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05). Conclusion The implementation of semiconductor laser therapy combined with auricular pressure beans for patients after lumbar low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation is conducive to early relief of pain, recovery of limb motion, promoting postoperative recovery of patients, and shortening hospital stay.
