Clinical Study of Zhuang Medicine Meridian Therapy in Treating Third Lumbar Transverse Process Syndrome
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of Zhuang medicine meridian therapy in treating third lumbar transverse process syndrome and its impact on inflammatory factors.Methods:A total of 80 patients with third lumbar transverse process syndrome treated were selected and randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group,40 patients in each group.The treatment group received Zhuang medicine meridian therapy,while the control group received comprehensive traditional Chinese medicine therapy.The Japanese Orthopaedic Associa-tion(JOA)scores,Oswestry Disability Index(ODI)scores,and inflammatory factor levels[interleukin-6(IL-6),tu-mor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α)]were compared before and after treatment,and the efficacy was evaluated.Re-sults:The overall effective rate of the treatment group was 94.74%,which was higher than the 86.84%in the con-trol group(P<0.05).After treatment,the JOA score in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group,and the ODI score was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group after treatment(P<0.05).Conclu-sion:Zhuang medicine meridian therapy in treating third lumbar transverse process syndrome can alleviate clini-cal symptoms,improve lumbar functional activity,promote the metabolism and absorption of inflammatory factors,and shows good efficacy,making it worthy of clinical promotion and application.
