ObjectTo discuss the clinical efficacy of lumbar disc herniation through randomized controlled clinical trial of electrical acupuncture analgesia combined with manipulation therapy and it also provides a reliable clinical evidence for the clinical application.MethodsThe 100 patients met the inclusion criteria of TCM diagnosis by lumbar disc hernia ion were randomly divided into treatment group and 50 patients in control group. The Treatment groups were treated with electric acupuncture analgesia combined with massage therapy.The control group taking regular acupuncture points with massage therapy. The short form pain questionnaire, symptom score scale, quality of life table and the serum substance P index are used to determinate the efficacy. The clinical efficacy and the quality of life for patients are observed at end.ResultsAfter the two different ways, we found that①After being assessed by MPQ form (by t test),the two groups'S, A, T, VAS, PPI were significantly improved than before (p<0.05); S, A, T, VAS were better improved in treatment Group (p<0.05), While the improvement of PPI was no significant difference between the two groups (p>0.05).②There is no significant difference in total scores (p>0.05) in the two groups before treatment,, showed that two samples can be synchronized; The two groups scores were both significantly improved than before (p<0.05);The improvement rate were significantly different between the two groups (p<0.05). The treatment group's effect is better than the control group.③The total effective rate was no significant difference (p> 0.05) between the two groups by the The chi-square test, while the more significant differences rates were significantly (p <0.05),it shows that the method of the treatment group is better than the control group.④Before the treatment, the substance P content of peripheral blood plasma difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05);While after the treatment, the two groups' substance P content were decreased significantly (P<0.05.) ⑤The treatment group's GH score is significantly higher than the control group after the dimension being corrected (P=0.008). The quality of life in treatment group is better improved than in the control group.ConclusionsElectric acupuncture analgesia with massage therapy is a complete treatment for the lumbar disc protrusion. The clinical efficacy and the quality of life are both significantly improved in the treatment group. This way can relieve nerve root compression, eliminate the nerve root inflammation, correct lumbar facet joint disorders and increase spinal stability Para spinal muscle tension, blood circulation, improve the microcirculation.So it has a high practical value and is worthy of promotion. |
