Objective To investigate the effect of moxibustion combined with"three steps and six methods"massage on lumbar disc herniation(LDH).Methods Sixty LDH patients admitted to Dafeng Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Yancheng City from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected as the research objects,and were divided into a control group and an observation group according to random number table method,with 30 cases in each group.The control group was treated with routine treatment,and the observation group was treated with moxibustion combined with"three steps and six methods"massage on this basis.The pain degree,lumbar pain and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the pain Visual Analogue Scale score of the observation group was(1.35±0.21)points,which was lower than(1.80±0.54)points of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);the subjective symptoms,clinical signs,daily activity limitation scores and total score of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association low back pain rating scale in the observation group were(6.02±0.25)points,(4.56±0.57)points,(10.33±1.62)points and(21.28±4.07)points,respectively,which were higher than(5.51±0.34)points,(3.85±0.32)points,(8.12±1.46)points,(16.94±3.72)points in the control group,and the differences between the groups were statistically significant(P<0.05);the scores of psychological,mental,environmental,physiological,social relationship,independence,general health and quality of life in the World Health Organization quality of life-BREF scale of the observation group were(70.19±5.20)points,(15.25±0.36)points,(115.40±7.26)points,(42.26±3.54)points,(41.37±3.78)points,(58.56±3.51)points,(18.12±0.74)points,respectively,which were higher than(64.42±5.18)points,(14.28±1.01)points,(105.77±8.95)points,(37.66±4.85)points,(35.18±4.89)points,(52.39±4.38)points,(16.55±0.57)points of the control group,the differences between the groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Moxibustion combined with"three steps and six methods"massage can relieve the lumbar pain,improve the lumbar function and improve the quality of life of LDH patients.
