Giant lumbar disc herniation(GLDH)，a serious type of lumbar disc herniation，is mostly treated with surgery in clinical practice.However，surgical treatment faces problems such as nerve injury and postoperative complications.With the popularization of medical imaging，studies have discovered that without surgical intervention，the nucleus pulposus will retract or decrease automatically after lumbar disc herniation.The non-surgical treatment can alleviate the clinical symptoms while promoting the resorption of protrusions in the GLDH patients who do not have obvious neurological damage，serving as a treatment option avoiding the patients' risks and burdens of surgery.Chinese medical therapies capable of relieving symptoms and promoting the reabsorption of protrusions demonstrate outstanding advantages and unique characteristics in treating this disease.However，there is no consensus on the prediction of whether protrusions will undergo reabsorption，as well as on the selection and prognosis of non-surgical therapies.Moreover，there is a lack of higher-level evidence-based research to verify the efficacy of non-surgical therapies.
