Abstract:
Objective to investigate the efficacy of functional electrical stimulation(FES)on the postoperative treatment of lumbar disc hernia-tion. Methods Informed consents were obtained from all the subjects before the study. totally 60 patients who had remnant nervous lesion after sur-gery of lumbar disc herniation were divided into two groups:FES group and Control group. FES group received treatment since the first day after sur-gery. the parameters of therapeutic apparatus were as follows:35 Hz,0.28 ms,1 time daily and 30 min each time. the intensity of the treatment was the maximum tolerated that the patients can take. the course was 4 weeks. the control group during the study did not receive any stimulation. the myodynamia of hallux dorsiflexion and JOA score of patients were recorded and analyzed. Results After 2 weeks treatment,the myodynamia of FES group was 15.10±5.03,which was significantly larger than that of the control group at 12.03±6.30(P < 0.05). After 4 weeks treatment,the myody-namia of FES group was 20.43±5.73,which was significantly larger than that of the control group at 14.57±7.17(P < 0.05). After 4 weeks of treat-ment,the JOA score of FES group was 24.63±1.91,which was significantly higher than that of the control group at 19.87±2.33(P < 0.05). Conclu-sion After 2-4 weeks of functional electrical stimulation therapy,myodynamia of hallux dorsiflexion in FES group was significantly improved. And at the 4th week after operation,JOA score was more higher than that of the control group. Functional electrical stimulation in the treatment of remnant nervous lesion after postoperative of lumbar disc herniation has exact curative effect,which is worthy of popularization.
