Effect of warming acupuncture and moxibustion on curative effect and inflammatory factors of patients with lumbar disc herniation
Objective To analyze and study the curative effect of warming acupuncture and moxibustion and traditional Chinese medicine treatment on patients with lumbar disc herniation and the improvement effect of inflammatory factors.Methods This study selected 72 patients with lumbar disc herniation admitted to PKUCare CNOOC Hospital from January 2023 to December 2023 as the research subjects,and divided them into two groups:control group and observation group.The control group implemented routine treatment measures,and the observation group implemented warm acupuncture and moxibustion and Chinese medicine treatment measures on this basis.The changes of pain degree,lumbar function,Chinese medicine symptoms and inflammatory factors of the two groups before and after treatment were compared.Results In terms of pain score comparison,compared with before treatment,both groups showed a significant decrease in VAS,sensory PRI,and emotional PRI scores after implementing treatment measures(P<0.05),and in the inter group comparison,the observation group had a lower score than the control group(P<0.05);in terms of lumbar spine function comparison,after treatment,both groups showed a decrease in ODI scores(P<0.05)and an increase in JOA scores(P<0.05),inter group comparison showed that compared with the control group,the observation group had higher ODI scores(P<0.05)and lower JOA scores(P<0.05);in terms of comparison of inflammatory factor levels,after treatment,the levels of IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α in both groups decreased(P<0.05),inter group comparison showed that compared to the control group,the observation group had lower levels of three inflammatory factors(P<0.05);in terms of the comparison of TCM symptom scores,after treatment,the scores of pain,waist and knee tenderness,chilly limbs,and poor mobility were lower than those before treatment(P<0.05),after treatment,compared to the control group,the observation group has lower TCM syndrome scores(P<0.05).Conclusion The implementation of warm acupuncture and moxibustion and moxibustion for patients with lumbar intervertebral disc can effectively alleviate the symptoms of lumbar pain,reduce the level of inflammatory factors,and improve the treatment effect.
