Objective:To observe the clinical effects of electroacupuncture (EA) plus acuoint-injection for nerve root sciatica.
Methods:A total of 114 cases were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 57 cases in each group. The observation group was given EA plus acupoint-injection therapy with Cobamamide. The control group was given oral administration of Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-release Tablets plus muscular injection of Cobamamide. After one-course treatment, the clinical effects were compared between the two groups.
Results:The total effective rate was 96.5%in the observation group and 91.2%in the control group, without a statistical significance in the difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The curative rate was 57.9%in the observation group and 21.1% in the control group, with a statistical significance in the difference between the two groups (P<0.05). In the follow-up on the fourth day after the treatment, the recurrence rate was 23.1%in the observation group and 47.9%in the control group, with statistical difference between the two groups (P<0.05).
