| Objective: To explore the clinical study of large massage technique combined with qingshi liyao decoction in the treatment of damp-heat lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods: 64 patients with LDH who were treated in Foshan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from June 2023 to September 2023 were selected. Random number table method was used, patients were divided into control group (n=32, treated with qingshi liyao decoction) and observation group (n=32, large massage technique combined with qingshi liyao decoction). The clinical efficacy, traditional chinese medical syndrome score, related scale score and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups. Results: The total effective rate in control group was 24 cases, accounting for 75.00%. The total effective rate in observation group was 30 cases, accounting for 93.75%, and there was a difference between the groups (P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of low back pain, damp-heat sensation, lumbar activity, tongue and pulse in two groups decreased, and the improvement in observation group was greater (P<0.05). After treatment, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Oswestry disability index (ODI) score in two groups decreased, and the japanese orthopaedic association low back pain score (JOA) score increased, and the improvement in observation group was greater (P<0.05).
