In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the use andhelpfulness of the methods practiced by patients to manage low back pain after lumbar discherniation surgery.Methods: This study was carried out with 99 voluntary patients who were hospitalized in theneurosurgery department of a university hospital in Turkey, between April 18, 2016 and December14, 2017. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, Pain Management Inventory,and Visual Analog Scale.Results: The mean low back pain severity score of the patients was 6.41±2.08. To relieve low backpain, the most used pain management method and the first method identified by the patients asmost helpful in relieving pain was taking prescribed medication.Conclusion: Study findings suggest that patients who suffer low back pain after lumbar discherniation surgery used prescription medicine and find it helpful.
