Moxibustion with exercise for recovery after disc surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining moxibustion (a type of heat therapy on specific body points) with a special exercise program (Baduanjin) helps you recover faster after minimally invasive surgery for a herniated disc in your lower back. It may help improve pain and function after your operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old and have a herniated disc in your lower back, confirmed by a doctor.
- You must not have improved with non-surgical treatments and must have had a minimally invasive surgery (using small incisions) for the herniated disc at the study hospital.
- You cannot have had any previous back surgery (before this one).
- You must not have severe conditions like spinal narrowing, bleeding disorders, mental illness, or serious diseases such as cancer or tuberculosis.
- You must not have allergies to the medications used in the study, and you must be willing to participate voluntarily.

This study tests whether a specific massage technique can help rebuild the muscles that stabilize your lower back, which may reduce pain and improve movement for people with a lumbar disc herniation. The goal is to correct the 'muscle-bone imbalance' that often causes back pain.
This study tests a gentle exercise program called Baduanjin combined with resistance training for people with back problems or osteoporosis who are about to have surgery. It aims to see if this type of exercise helps before and after the procedure.
This study tests a device placed during surgery to close a hole in the disc after removing a herniated part. It aims to help people recover and get back to their normal activities after surgery for a herniated disc in the lower back.
This study tests a gentle, hands-on treatment called flexion-distraction to help people with a herniated disc in their lower back. The goal is to see if it reduces pain and improves function without needing surgery.
This study tests whether spinal manipulation (a hands-on treatment) can reduce pain from a herniated disc in the lower back by looking at brain changes with MRI scans. It aims to find out if this treatment helps the brain process pain better.
This trial tests if a special exercise program that uses visual feedback helps people recover better after surgery for a herniated disc in the lower back. It may improve your recovery and reduce pain.
