Core Tip	A total of 211 patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) syndrome and cold dampness due to kidney deficiency were divided into two groups based on therapeutic strategies to evaluate the clinical therapeutic effect of self-prescribed Sanhanchushi Tongbi (SPST) on LDH. Observation indicators, such as the Japanese Orthopedic Association and visual analog scale scores, were used to compare the therapeutic effects between the two groups. The study showed that SPST reduced inflammation, pain-causing factors, and lumbar pain in patients with LDH.
