Objective To analyze the effect of traditional Chinese medicine combined with box moxibustion in patients with lumbar disc herniation.Methods 100 patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to January 2024 were selected as the study objects.The patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 50 cases in each group.The control group was treated with traditional Chinese medicine and the observation group was treated with traditional Chinese medicine combined with moxibustion.Duration of symptom resolution,lumbar function[Japanese Orthopaedic Society(JOA)],pain degree[numerical pain scale(NRS)],and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results The relief time of lumbago,sciatica and lower limb numbness in observation group was significantly shorter than that in control group(P<0.05).Before treatment,there were no significant differences in JOA and NRS scores between the two groups(P>0.05).After treatment,JOA score increased and NRS score decreased in both groups,and the changes of JOA score and NRS score in the observation group were significantly greater than those in the control group(P<0.05).No adverse reactions occurred in both groups during treatment.Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine combined with box moxibustion in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation can promote the relief of symptoms,improve the function of lumbar spine,and high safety.
