When to start rehab after UBE spine surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at whether starting rehabilitation exercises earlier or later after a specific type of minimally invasive back surgery (UBE) for a slipped disc improves your recovery. It's for people who have had leg pain for less than a year and are scheduled for this surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a lumbar disc herniation (slipped disc in your lower back) and are set to have a minimally invasive surgery called UBE.
- You have had leg pain (radicular pain) from the herniation for less than 1 year.
- You can understand Chinese and fill out questionnaires on your own.
- You are physically able to do rehabilitation exercises and are willing to participate.

This trial compares two recovery approaches after lumbar disc herniation surgery: early movement exercises and electrical stimulation (mild electrical pulses to muscles). The goal is to see which helps patients regain strength and function faster in the first two weeks after surgery.
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.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive back surgery (biportal vs. uniportal endoscopic discectomy) for a single herniated disc in the lower back. It may be a good option if you've had persistent leg or back pain for at least 6 weeks and haven't had prior back surgery.
This study looks at recovery after planned (elective) surgery for common lower-back (“lumbar”) spine problems like slipped discs, disc bulges, and narrowing of the spinal canal. You may be asked to complete online questionnaires, and the study uses your answers to understand symptoms and outcomes after surgery.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) during physical therapy after lumbar disc surgery helps you recover better in the first few days. You'll do standard exercises with or without VR games to see if it improves your movement and pain.
This study collects health information after lower-back disc surgery to track outcomes over time. It may help improve how the surgery and devices are monitored in real-world patients.
