Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of Xueshuangtong combined with radiofrequency thermocoagulation in the treatment of lumbar degenerative lumbar pain.MethodsFrom January 1, 2014 to December 30, 2015, 60 patients with lumbar degenerative low back pain admitted in Jiashan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.All of them were randomly divided into observation group and control group, and each with 30 cases.All patients received radiofrequency thermocoagulation, while the observation group received Xueshuantong for further treatment.All of the patients were assessed by the international Pain Association recommended the use of visual analogue scale (VAS) and McGill pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ) and CRP when treatment before starting and after 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 and 90d of the treatment.ResultsThere were no significant differences between the two groups in VAS, SF-MPQ and CRP before treatment (P<0.05).However, when compared with the control group, patients in the observation group got significantly lower levels of VAS at 1, 3, 7 and 14d after the operation;significantly lower levels of SF-MPQ at 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30d after the operation;and significantly lower levels of CRP at 14, 30 and 90d after the operation (P<0.05).And we found no serious complications occurred in the two groups.ConclusionThe Xueshuantong combined with radiofrequency thermocoagulation treatment of lumbar facet joint is a safe, effective and inexpensive for the low back pain which caused by lumbar degeneration.
