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. Therefore, the effect of progressive relaxation exercises on pain and kinesiophobia will be evaluated in this study.~Hypotheses H1: Progressive relaxation exercise to be applied after the surgery reduces the pain level of the patients.~H2: Progressive relaxation exercise to be applied after surgery reduces the feeling of kinesiophobia in patients.
This study will be conducted to determine the effect of progressive relaxation exercise to be applied after lumbar disc herniation surgery on postoperative pain level and kinesiophobia.
