Clinical Study of Tiaoji Tongdu Acupuncture Combined with Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture in Treatment of LDH
Objective:To explore the efficacy of Tiaoji Tongdu acupuncture combined with wrist-ankle acupuncture in treatment of lumbar disc herniation(LDH).Methods:94 LDH cases of cold-dampness obstruction pattern were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group,with 47 cases in each group.The control group was treated with wrist-ankle acupuncture;on which basis,the observation group was treated with Tiaoji Tongdu acupuncture.Clinical efficacy was recorded after 4 weeks of the treatment.Lumbar pain status[Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)]was observed before the treatment,after 2 w and 4 w of the treatment;TCM symptoms scores,lumbar function[Japanese Orthopedic Association score(JOA),Oswestry Disability Index(ODI)],and lumbar mobility were observed before the treatment and after 4 w of the treatment in the two groups.Results:After 4 weeks of the treatment,the total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The VAS score was significantly decreased in the two groups,and the VAS score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group at the same time point(P＜0.05).The scores of TCM symptoms and ODI were significantly decreased in the two groups,and the scores were lower in the observation group than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The JOA score and lumbar mobility were increased significantly in both groups,and the indicators were higher in the observation group than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Tiaoji Tongdu acupuncture combined with wrist-ankle acupuncture has a significant effect in treatment of LDH,and it can relieve lumbar pain,and improve lumbar function and activity.
