Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of pneumatic ballistic extracorporeal shock wave therapy for discogenic lower back pain.Methods 60 patients with discogenic lower back pain were selected.They were divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table method,with 30 cases in each group.The observation group was treated with a pressure ballistic extracorporeal shock wave therapy device.The control group received three-dimensional dynamic interference electrotherapy.Before and after treatment,all patients were evaluated for changes in pain visual analogue scale(VAS),Oswestry functional impairment index(ODI),and magnetic resonance imaging T2 relaxation time values.After 3 months of treatment,the VAS score and ODI index changes were followed up in both groups of patients.Results The VAS and ODI scores of the two groups of patients improved before and after treatment,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The T2 value of the nucleus pulposus in the observation group was higher than that in the control group after treatment,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The VAS score of the observation group decreased significantly after 3 months of treatment compared to after treatment(P<0.05).Conclusion The pneumatic ballistic extracorporeal shock wave therapy for discogenic lower back pain can alleviate lower back pain and improve lumbar function in patients.
