Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of Wechsler's bone setting manipulation in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was carried out. 50 LDH patients from the Spinal Surgery Department of Ruikang Hospital Affiliated to Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine and the Ruikang Hospital Traditional Chinese Medicine Master Hall Affiliated to Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine were selected as observation subjects from January to November 2021. They were divided into two groups using a random number table method, with 25 patients in each group. The control group was treated with traditional bone setting techniques, while the observation group was treated with Wechsler's bone setting correction techniques. Both groups were treated for 3 weeks. VAS scale was used to evaluate the degree of lower back and leg pain, and the Japanese Orthopedic Association was used to evaluate treatment (JOA score) to evaluate lumbar function; the sacral tilt angle (SS), lumbar lordosis angle (LL), and coronal pelvic tilt angle values were measured on the lateral X-ray film of the entire spine; adverse reactions were recorded and clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was 92.0% (23/25), and the control group was 68.0% (17/25), with statistical significance between the two groups ( χ2=4.50, P=0.034). The VAS score of the observation group after treatment was lower than that of the control group ( t=16.25, P<0.01); the JOA score was higher than that of the control group ( t=-29.39, P<0.01). The SS [(36.00 ± 1.87) ° vs. (34.16 ± 1.57) °, t=-10.64] and LL [(38.08 ± 2.60) ° vs. (34.96 ± 1.90) °, t=-10.04] in the observation group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01); the coronal pelvic tilt angle value [(0.47 ± 0.14) ° vs. (0.69 ± 0.14) °, t=42.57] was lower in the control group ( P<0.01). No adverse reactions occurred during the treatment period in both groups. Conclusion:Wechsler's bone setting manipulation can improve the pain symptoms of patients with LDH, and restore the spine pelvis biomechanical balance to a certain extent.
