Ji-Jiao-Li-Huang Decoction was Used to Treat 41 Cases of Prolapse of Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Based on the Theory of"Sanjiao Qi Movement"
To observe the clinical efficacy of Ji-Jiao-Li-Huang decoction in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation with the syn-drome of Qi stagnation and stagnation of blood and water.Methods:A prospective single-arm clinical study was conducted on 38 eligible patients with lumbar disc herniation.The patients were treated with Ji-Jiao-Li-Huang decoction taken orally for 2 weeks.The patients'lumbar and leg pain visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,Oswestry disability index(ODI)scores,TCM syndrome scores,onset time,and lumbar mobility before and after treatment were recorded and followed up at 1 week,2 weeks,and 2 weeks after the treatment course to evaluate clinical efficacy and safety.Results:The VAS scores,ODI scores,and TCM syndrome scores showed statistically significant differences after 1 week,2 weeks,and 2 weeks post-treatment compared to before treatment(P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences in these scores at 2 weeks and 2 weeks post-treatment compared to 1 week(P<0.05).No statistically significant difference was observed in VAS and ODI scores between 2 weeks post-treatment and 2 weeks after the end of treatment(P>0.05),but there was a statistically significant difference in TCM syndrome scores(P<0.05).After 2 weeks of treatment,the lumbar flexion and exten-sion mobility showed statistically significant differences compared to before treatment(P<0.05).At the end of the treatment,the effective rate of the ODI scores was 80.5%.Conclusion:Ji-Jiao-Li-Huang decoction can significantly improve the symptoms of lumbar and leg pain and limited lumbar mobility in patients with lumbar disc herniation with the syndrome of Qi stagnation and stagnation of blood and water.It also improves TCM syndrome,has a rapid onset time,and has few adverse reactions.
