Effects of Health Education for Patients Received Minimally Invasive Lumbar Spinal Surgery

Lumbar degenerative disease surgery has been a routine clinical operation, and has good treatment effects. Although the patient's neurological symptoms improve after surgery, many patients still have postoperative muscle soreness. The postoperative rehabilitation intervention for the patients receiving traditional lumbar surgery has been confirmed to effectively improve pain and disability. However, in recent years, minimally invasive lumbar spinal surgery has gradually replaced traditional surgery, postoperative pain has been greatly reduced. Therefore, patients have the opportunity to receive early intervention in rehabilitation, but there is no standardization process for rehabilitation of minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery. Therefore, this study aims to establish a health education program for patients receiving minimally invasive lumbar spinal surgery, and conduct clinical trials to test its effectiveness.
