Summary

We aimed to assess the influence of progressive muscle relaxation exercise on kinesiophobia and pain during after lumbar disc surgery using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale in a prospective, randomized fashion.

Detailed description

Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common disease that is common in the society and limits the activities of individuals in daily life. Pain, which is an undesirable but expected result of surgical interventions, which are used in the treatment of diseases and play an important role in increasing the health level of people, is one of the most common postoperative complaints. The pain is sometimes severe enough to impede movement and causes paravertebral muscle spasm. Pain can also cause kinesiophobia, which is a factor that limits the person's physical activities. This study was conducted to determine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercises on kinesiophobia, which can be seen in parallel with pain in the postoperative period, on the pain level of patients after LDH surgery and on the kinesiophobia experienced in parallel. The following hypotheses (H) were tested in this study: H1. Progressive muscle relaxation exercise has an effect on reducing pain after LDH surgery. H2. Progressive muscle relaxation exercise has an effect on reducing kinesiophobia after LDH surgery.
