Abstract:
This review systematically examines the mechanisms underlying the spontaneous resorption of lumbar disc herniation (LDH), focusing on vascularization, autophagy, apoptosis, macrophage activity, and the therapeutic potential of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). We emphasize that resorption is influenced by factors such as herniation type, disease duration, and imaging biomarkers (eg, the bull's-eye sign). Additionally, this review summarizes recent progress in the study of resorption mechanisms following lumbar disc herniation, providing a reference for future clinical research.
Methods:
Literature was systematically searched in PubMed, Web of Science, and CNKI (2000-2024) using keywords: 'lumbar disc herniation,' 'resorption,' 'autophagy,' 'TCM.' Inclusion criteria: (1) human/animal studies; (2) MRI-confirmed LDH; (3) English/Chinese full texts. Exclusion criteria: case reports (n<10).
