Efficacy of Huolong Cupping Combined with Core Muscle Group Stability Training in Patients with Lumbar Disc Herniation
Objective:To explore the efficacy of Huolong cupping combined with core muscle group stability training in patients with lumbar disc herniation(LDH).Method:A total of 90 patients with LDH admitted to the Rehabilitation Medicine Department of Xingguo Hospital Affiliated to Gannan Medical College from March 2022 to February 2023 were selected as the research subjects,they were divided into the Huolong cupping treatment group(n=30),the core muscle group stability group(n=30),and the Huolong cupping combined core muscle group stability group(n=30)by random number table method.The visual analogue pain scale(VAS),Japanese orthopaedic association scores(JOA)scores,Oswestry disability index(ODI)and activity of daily living scale(ADL)and the clinical efficacy were observed in the three groups.Result:There was no significant difference in VAS scores among the three groups of patients before treatment(P>0.05);after treatment,the VAS score of the Huolong cupping combined with core muscle group stability group was significantly lower than those of the Huolong cupping group and core muscle group stability group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in JOA scores among the three groups of patients before treatment(P>0.05);after treatment,the JOA score of the Huolong cupping combined with core muscle group stability group was significantly higher than those of the Huolong cupping group and core muscle group stability group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in ODI and ADL scores among the three groups of patients before treatment(P>0.05);after treatment,the ODI of the Huolong cupping combined with core muscle group stability group was significantly lower than those of the Huolong cupping group and core muscle group stability group,while the ADL score was significantly higher than those of the Huolong cupping group and core muscle group stability group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The clinical total effective rate of the Huolong cupping combined with core muscle group stability group was 96.67%,which was significantly higher than 70.00%of the Huolong cupping group and the 73.33%of core muscle group stability group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:The combination of Huolong cupping and core muscle group stability training can improve clinical efficacy,reduce VAS scores and ODI,improve JOA scores,and improve patients'lumbar function.
