Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of different rehabilitation interventions on patients who have undergone surgery for degenerative lumbar disease. The study focuses on assessing improvements in neuropathic pain, functional recovery, and overall quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to different rehabilitation programs to determine which approach provides the best outcomes for postoperative recovery.

Conditions

  • Degenerative Lumbar Disease
  • Neuropathic Pain

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Stretching and Core Stability Exercise Program (Group A)

A progressive postoperative rehabilitation program. Day 0: Ankle pumps and pelvic tilts (4 times/day, 5 reps). Day 1: Added heel slides, straight leg raises (SLR), and knee-to-chest stretches (4 times/day, 10 reps); walking to the bathroom (3 times/day). Day 2: Increased reps to 15; walking outside the room (5 mins, 3 times/day). Day 3: Increased reps to 20; increased walking time (10 mins, 3 times/day). Day 4 to Discharge: Continued exercises and increased walking. Post-discharge: Continued for at least 1 month.

BEHAVIORAL

Core Stability Exercise Program (Group B)

Similar to Group A but without knee-to-chest stretches. Includes ankle pumps, pelvic tilts, heel slides, and SLR. The frequency and progression (reps and walking duration) are identical to Group A. Continued for at least 1 month post-discharge.

OTHER

Standard Postoperative Nursing Care

Participants receive routine postoperative nursing care and standard health education provided by the neurosurgery ward.
