［Objectives］ To investigate the clinical efficacy of Cyclic Flexion Traction (CFT) in treating Lumbar Disc Herniation (LDH) and its effects on lumbocrural pain relief, functional improvement, and nerve root decompression. [Methods] Seventy LDH patients treated at the orthopedic rehabilitation outpatient and inpatient departments of Shiyan Taihe Hospital from June 2022 to December 2024 were randomly divided into a treatment group (CFT therapy, n=35) and a control group (traditional traction, n=35). The treatment group received cyclic flexion traction (traction force of 30%-50% body weight with a cycle of 60-30-30 sec), while the control group received supine position linear traction. Both groups underwent 4 weeks of treatment, with assessments including visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and straight leg raising test (SLRT) angles. [Results] The treatment group showed a significantly greater reduction in VAS scores (from 6.97 to 2.31) compared to the control group (from 6.89 to 3.74) (P<0.05). Similarly, ODI improvement (41.62→15.73 compared with 40.98→22.84) and SLRT angle increase (41.23°→76.47° compared with 42.09°→64.19°) were more pronounced in the treatment group (all P<0.05). [Conclusions] Through dynamic decompression mechanisms, CFT therapy demonstrates superior efficacy to traditional traction in pain relief, functional recovery, and nerve root decompression (effective rate 94.29% compared with 77.14%, P<0.05), representing a superior non-surgical treatment option. |
