Three Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment Of Lumbar Disc Herniation Cost-effectiveness Analysis Of Appropriate Technology

The lumbar disc herniation is a common disease, the symptoms include the back or legs hurt, the spine lateral curvature, and cunrrent attacks. This disease interferes with the life of work or study. So it's significant to assess the health technology of lumbar disc herniation.Objective:choose the best medical technology of lumbar disc herniation by comparing the cost-effectiveness of three Chinese traditional medical technology treating lumbar disc herniation, meanwhile, make the advice on promoting the technology when it has problems with the cost-effectiveness.Method:distribute the patients to the appropriate medical technology team and the conventional medical technology team at random; investigate the teams before and after the treatment, with the questionnaire which includes 4 parts:the basic status of the patients, the disease status before treatment, the disease status after treatment, the curing and relevant cost. So that, make the therapeutic effects into a number, contrast the therapeutic effects, the cost and the cost-effectiveness.Result:In Henan teams, Ranshi Replenishing Qi Pointer Technology is the best cost-effective in Qiantan three steps Technology, Ranshi Replenishing Qi Pointer Technology and the conventional technology. Qiantan three Steps Technology has good effectiveness, and the theropy cost is lower. But the other economic burden is higher. In Ningxia teams, Embedding Thread at Physical Points Technology's therapeutic effects is no better than the conventional technology, but its cost is higher than the latter, so the problems are been needed to find to change the status.Conclusion:In Henan of the three Chinese appropriate health technologies, Ranshi Replenishing Qi Pointer curing the lumbar disc herniation is a good technology, most worth promoting. In Ningxia, Embedding Thread at Physical Points has better therapeutic effects in other chronic diseases, but its price is higher than the conventional technology, and its effect is no better than conventional technology.Proposal:The more training must be needed when the appropriate health technologies are popularized. Change the way of training the doctors, and test them to sure that they are able to use the technology. And the cost of the technology is need to be cut, or compensate the patients. If promoting the Chinese traditional technology which has the best therapeutic effects, more medical expense will be saved and the technologies will lighten the indirect economic burden of the sociaty. This is a good job in favor of the country and the people.
