Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Orthopedics
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Context:

  • Herniated discs are a prevalent cause of neurological deficits, significantly impacting patient quality of life.
  • Affecting approximately 20% of individuals aged 45-56, lumbar disc herniation presents a substantial healthcare challenge.
  • Conservative management is typically the primary treatment, with surgery reserved for specific indications.

Purpose:

  • To assess the efficacy of conservative therapeutic strategies for lumbar disc herniation.
  • To quantify the impact of these non-surgical treatments on pain alleviation and functional restoration.

Summary:

  • A systematic literature review of reviews and meta-analyses (2019-2024) analyzed physiotherapy, pharmacotherapy, manual therapy, and injection therapies.
  • Conservative treatments demonstrated significant improvements in pain reduction and functional capacity for most patients.
  • While many conservative methods show promise, rigorous evidence is lacking for some commonly employed clinical interventions.

Impact:

  • Conservative therapies are crucial for managing herniated discs, offering effective non-surgical solutions.
  • Integrated treatment approaches combining various conservative methods can optimize patient outcomes.
  • Further longitudinal studies are essential to establish long-term efficacy and refine optimal treatment protocols.
