Abstract

Background: Low Back Pain (LBP) is pain in the lower back area, from below the ribs to the tailbone. In general, lower back pain is caused by various problems in the musculoskeletal system. Non-pharmacological measures that can be taken are using grated red ginger compresses, because the gingerol substance and the warm sensation it causes can help widen blood vessels and improve blood circulation, so that pain is reduced. Based on data from the Medical Records Installation of Dr. Sardjito General Hospital Yogyakarta, in 2024 there were 185 cases of patients experiencing LBP. Objective: To describe the application of grated red ginger compresses to reduce the pain scale in LBP patients in the Anggrek 2 Ward of Dr. Sardjito General Hospital Yogyakarta. Method: Descriptive with a case study approach using 1 LBP patient who experienced pain. Results: After applying grated red ginger compresses for 20 minutes with a frequency of 2 times in 6 days, the pain scale decreased from 6 (moderate pain) to 1 (very mild pain). Conclusion: Grated red ginger compress therapy is effective in reducing pain in patients with low back pain from moderate to mild. Recommendation: This is expected to serve as a reference source or alternative therapy for pain reduction in patients with low back pain using grated red ginger compresses.
