Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint injection of mouse nerve growth factor in treating lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LIDH).Method Totally 120 LIDH patients were randomized into a treatment group, control group 1, and control group 2, 40 cases in each group. Control group 2 was intervened by dehydration therapy; the treatment group was by acupoint injection of mouse nerve growth factor in addition to the intervention given to control group 2; control group 1 was by muscular injection of Trivitamin B in addition to the intervention given to control group 2. The common peroneal nerve and posterior tibial nerve conduction velocities and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were observed before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacies were compared among the three groups.Result The recovery and markedly effective rate was 97.5% in the treatment group, versus 92.5% in control group 1 and 85.0% in control group 2, and the rate in the treatment group was significantly different from that in control group 1 and 2 (P<0.05). Respectively 14 d and a month after intervention, the VAS scores were significantly different from that before treatment in the three groups (P<0.05). Respectively 14 d and 1 month after the intervention, the VAS score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in control group 1 and 2 (P<0.05). The common peroneal nerve and posterior tibial nerve conduction velocities a month after the intervention were significantly different from that before the intervention in the three groups (P<0.05). A month after the intervention, the posterior tibial nerve and peroneal nerve conduction velocities in the treatment group were significantly different from that in control group 1 and 2 (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupoint injection of mouse nerve growth factor is an effective way in treating LIDH.
