Application of loosing-bonesetting-conditioning tendons three-step massage combined with electrothermal needle therapy in the rehabilitation treatment of patients with lumbar disc herniation
Objective:To observe the curative effect of loosing-bonesetting-conditioning tendons three-step massage com-bined with electrothermal needle therapy on patients with lumbar disc herniation(LDH).Methods:A total of 180patients with LDH admitted to the hospital were enrolled between January 2019and March 2021.According to different treatment methods,they were divided into single electrothermal needle therapy group(single group,electrothermal needle therapy,n=88)and massage combined with needle group(combination group,loosing-bonesetting-conditioning tendons three-step massage combined with e-lectrothermal needle therapy,n=92).All were treated for 2courses(4weeks).The clinical curative effect,changes in scores of TCM symptoms,lumbar function and serological indexes in the two groups were observed.The occurrence of adverse events was recorded.Results:The clinical response rate of combination group was better than that of single group(95.65%vs 84.09%,P<0.05).After treatment,scores of TCM symptoms in combination group were lower than those in single group(P<0.05).After treatment,scores of ODI,JOA,lumbar range of motion and lower limb FMA in combination group were higher than those in sin-gle group,and VAS score was lower than that in single group(P<0.05).After treatment,levels of IL-6and TNF-α in combina-tion group were lower than those in single group,while β-EP was higher than that in single group(P<0.05).There was no difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(3.26%vs 1.14%,P>0.05).Conclusion:Three-step massage combined with electrothermal needle therapy can effectively inhibit inflammatory response,relieve lumbar pain and im-prove lumbar function LDH patients,and further improve clinical curative effect.
