Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture-moxibustion plusMEI Te-lan’s manipulations in treating lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LIDH) due to blood stagnation.Method Totally 248 LIDH patients due to blood stagnation were randomized into a treatment group of 123 cases and a control group of 125 cases. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture-moxibustion plusMEI Te-lan’s manipulations, while the control group was by acupuncture-moxibustion plus tuina at lower back. The short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups.Result The total effective rate and recovery-markedly effective rate were respectively 80.5% and 52.0% in the treatment group, versus 72.8% and 20.0% in the control group. There was a significant difference in comparing the recovery-markedly effective rate between the two groups (P<0.05). In the treatment group, the Pain Rating Index (PRI) score, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, Present Pain Intensity (PPI) score, and ODI score were significantly changed after 3-day, 6-day, and 20-day treatment compared to the scores before treatment (P<0.05). After 20-day treatment, the PRI, VAS, PPI, and ODI scores of the treatment group were significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture-moxibustion plusMEI Te-lan’s manipulations is an effective method in treating LIDH due to blood stagnation.
