Brain plasticity following lumbar disc herniation treatment with spinal manipulation therapy based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging As a prevalent spine disorder, Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) has been affecting more than 2 % of the worldwide population and is characterised by uncertain causes and recurring episodes. Studying the brain activity of patients could potentially provide insights into its pathogenesis and significantly enhance therapy. Therefore, we here examined brain function in patients under Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT). By analysing regional homogeneity (ReHo) at different frequency bands, we identified the discrepancies in brain activity between LDH patients and healthy people, highlighting the frequency dependence of spontaneous low-frequency oscillations among patients with LDH.

This study showed that spinal manipulation significantly reduced pain, improved dysfunction, and partially rectified aberrant local consistency and functional connection in patients with lumbar disc herniation
