Observation of the clinical efficacy of wentong scraping combined with acupuncture in the treatment cold-dampness type lumbar intervertebral disc herniation
Objective:In this study,our main focus was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of wentong scraping combined with acupuncture in the treatment of cold-dampness type lumbar intervertebral disc herniation(LDH).Methods:A total of 148 patients with cold-damp type lumbar disc herniation were admitted to our department from May 2022 to May 2023.They were randomly divided into two different groups.The first group was a control group and the second was an observation group.There were a total of 74 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional treatment,and the observation group was treated with acupuncture and infrared irradiation combined with Wentong scraping on the basis of conventional treatment for a total of 7 days.Results:After treatment,JOA scores in both groups had increased(P<0.05),but the increase was more significant in the observation group(P<0.05).In the observation group,VAS scores had significantly decreased and GCQ score had significantly increased,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Compared to the control group,the observation group had a higher effectiveness and cure rate.Following the intervention,both group's levels of TGF-β1,TNF-α,and IL-1β were considerably lower than they were prior to the therapy(P<0.05),with the observation group's levels being significantly lower than those of the control group.Conclusion:Wentong scraping combined with acupuncture has proven to be effective in the treatment of cold-dampness type lumbar disc herniation,which helps to relieve pain symptoms and improve the clinical efficacy.
