Abstract:
Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) combined with traction and modified oblique Ban-pulling manipulation on lumber intervertebral disc herniation (LIDH).
Methods:A total of 90 eligible cases were randomly allocated into three groups, 30 in each group. Cases in group A were treated with EA, traction and tuina of modified oblique Ban-pulling manipulation; cases in group B were treated with traction and tuina (same as group A);and cases in group C were treated with traction alone (same as the other two groups). Then the therapeutic efficacies in the three groups were evaluated using the Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score rating system.
Results:The results after treatment and 1-month follow up showed that JOA scores in all three groups were improved (P<0.01); the total effective rate in Group A was 96.7%, versus 90.0% in group B and 70.0% in group C, showing a significantly better effect than the other two groups (P<0.01).
Conclusion: EA combined with traction and modified oblique Ban-pulling manipulation can obtain better effect than traction alone and traction combined with modified oblique Ban-pulling manipulation for LIDH.
