Effect of Chubang Point Combined with Warming Acupuncture on Inflammatory Response and Low Back Pain in Patients with Cold-Dampness Type Lumbar Disc Herniation
Objective To explore the effect of Chubang point combined with warming acupuncture on inflammatory response and low back pain in patients with cold-dampness type lumbar disc herniation(LDH).Methods 88 patients with cold-dampness LDH admitted to this hospital from May 2021 to September 2023 were selected as the research objects.According to the random number table method,they were divided into an observation group(n=44)and a control group(n= 44).The patients in the control group were treated with warm acupuncture,and the patients in the observation group were treated with Churod acupoints on the basis of warm acupuncture.The clinical efficacy,degree of low back pain,lumbar function,inflammatory response and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 95.45%,which was higher than 79.55%of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The pain Visual Analogue Scale of the observation group was(1.57±0.37)points,C-reactive protein was(4.31±0.39)pg/L,tumor necrosis factor-α was(1.01±0.09)ng/mL,interleukin-6 was(101.09±9.77)ng/mL.The scores were lower than(3.05±0.79)points,(5.84±0.48)pg/L,(1.29±0.22)ng/mL,(114.02±10.64)ng/mL of the control group,and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score was(19.02±4.28)points higher than(13.41±3.97)points of the control group,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The pestle and stick point combined with warm acupuncture and moxibustion has a significant effect in patients with cold-dampness LDH,which can relieve the degree of low back pain,reduce inflammatory reaction,promote the improvement of lumbar spine function,and has high safety.
