Summary
Study start date: March 28, 2025
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.This study focuses on understanding how the timing of rehabilitation after spine surgery affects recovery outcomes for patients with lumbar disc herniation, a condition where the soft cushioning between the bones in the spine bulges out. The research specifically looks at patients who have undergone a particular type of spine surgery known as unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) spine surgery. By determining whether starting rehabilitation sooner or later after surgery makes a difference, the study aims to provide valuable information that can help doctors make better treatment decisions and improve patient care. Participants in this study are divided into two groups. One group begins rehabilitation exercises two weeks after their surgery, while the other group starts six weeks after. The study collects and analyzes data from both groups before surgery, immediately after surgery, and over a year-long follow-up period. The focus is on comparing the recovery outcomes of the two groups to see which timing leads to better results. By doing so, the study hopes to find the best rehabilitation schedule to enhance recovery in patients who have had this specific spine surgery.
