Abstract :Objective: In this research, we aimed to investigate the effect of lumbar corsets on the postoperative pain of single and multiple-level lumbar disc herniations by the Visual analog scale insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(VAS); and the health outcomes via the Oswestry Disability Index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ODI);. Materials & Methods: Patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=101); with a single or double-level unilateral lumbar disc hernia with no history of lumbar surgery were included in this study. All patients decided for operation have been administered non-steroidal NSAIDs and muscle relaxants for 4 – 6 weeks before the operation. All patients were recommended to use a lumbar corset in the postoperative period. A VAS and ODI were utilized to measure the clinical outcomes of corset usage. Results: The first-week and first-month average VAS scores in the corsets group were statistically significantly lower than those who did not use corsets insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001, p=0.002);. No statistically significant difference was found in the first-week and first-month VAS changes of the patients who did not use corsets insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.059);. The first-week and first-month average ODI scores in the corsets group were statistically significantly lower than those who did not use insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.012, p<0.001);. The change in ODI scores from the first week to the first month was statistically significantly higher in patients wearing corsets insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);. Conclusion: Early adoption of the corset in the postoperative period can help rest and promote the dynamic healing of aching back muscles. Our findings indicated that the use of corsets promoted early recovery from rehabilitation and returns to daily activities.
