Abstract:
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of radiofrequency thermocoagulation combined with epidural block for treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation.Methods:One hundred and two patients with Lumbar disc herniation were divided into two groups.Radiofrequency thermocoagulation combined with epidural block group(group R,n=48)accepted the epidural drugs injection。1 week later radi-ofrequency thermocoagulation was taken.The epidural block group(group E,n=54)accepted the same epidural drugs injection.The VAS scores,clinical efficacy and complication were evaluated.Results:After the treatment,VAS scores in both groups decreased significantly compared with that before treatment.VAS scores on day 1,week 1 and month 1 after radiofrequency thermocoagulation were 3.13?0.99,1.35?0.34,1.05?1.22 respectively in the group R and 4.98?0.66,1.98?0.81,1.68?1.03 respectively in the group E(P
