Abstract

Objective: To explore the application effect of MBSR combined with relaxation training in the perioperative period of radiofrequency ablation combined with ozone interventional therapy for lumbar disc herniation. Methods: Ninety patients with lumbar disc herniation who underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA) combined with ozone interventional therapy in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of our hospital from January to December 2019 were included as research samples. They were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table method: the control group (45 cases) received routine perioperative nursing and health education; the experimental group (45 cases) received a comprehensive psychological intervention program consisting of MBSR combined with relaxation training in addition to the control group's treatment. Changes in pain perception (VAS), sleep quality (PSQI), psychological state (SAS/SDS), and life satisfaction (SWLS) were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention. Results: After the intervention, both groups showed a significant decrease in SAS and SDS scores (P<0.05), with a greater decrease in the experimental group (P<0.05); the experimental group had lower PSQI total scores and scores in each dimension compared to the control group (P<0.05); the experimental group had a significantly lower VAS score (3.56±0.88) compared to the control group (5.94±0.62) (P<0.05); the experimental group had a higher SWLS score (28.59±5.61) compared to the control group (22.46±4.15) (P<0.05). Conclusion: MBSR combined with relaxation training can significantly optimize the perioperative psychological state of patients undergoing RFA combined with ozone interventional therapy, reduce pain sensitivity and stress responses, and simultaneously improve sleep quality and treatment satisfaction.
