Objective:To explore the efficacy of three-dimensional spinal manipulation combined with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)introduction in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation(LDH).Methods:70 newly diagnosed LDH patients were selected and divided into control group and observation group,with 35 cases in each group.The control group received TCM ion introduc-tion therapy,while the observation group received three-dimensional spinal manipulation treatment.The lumbar spine function,pain symptoms,pain mediators,lower limb function,and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:After treatment,the JOA score,lumbar curvature,and straight leg elevation angle of the observation group were higher than those of the control group,while the VAS score and serum levels of 5-HT,PGE2,and IL-6 were lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:The three-dimensional spinal manipulation and TCM iontophoresis therapy can significantly improve lumbar spine function in LDH patients,reduce the expression of pain factors in the patient's body,alleviate pain symptoms,promote lower limb function recovery,and have definite therapeutic effects.It is worth promoting and applying.
