Abstract:
AIM To investigate the clinical effects of Lingxian Tongluo Capsules combined with Wentong Acupuncture Method on patients with lumbar disc herniation.METHODS One hundred and four patients were randomly assigned into control group(52 cases)for 30-day intervention of both Wentong Acupuncture Method and conventional treatment,and observation group(52 cases)for 30-day intervention of Lingxian Tongluo Capsules,Wentong Acupuncture Method and conventional treatment.The changes in clinical effects,TCM syndrome scores,lumbar function indices(ODI index score,JOA score),VAS score,inflammatory factors(TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6),hemorheological indices(plasma viscosity,whole blood high-shear viscosity,whole blood low-shear viscosity)and incidence of adverse reactions were detected.RESULTS The observation group demonstrated higher total effective rate than the control group(P＜0.05).After the treatment,the two groups displayed decreased TCM syndrome scores,ODI index score,VAS score,inflammatory factors and hemorheological indices(P＜0.05),and increased JOA score(P＜0.05),especially for the observation group(P＜0.05).No significant difference in incidence of adverse reactions was found between the two groups(P＞0.05).CONCLUSION For the patients with lumbar disc herniation,Lingxian Tongluo Capsules combined with Wentong Acupuncture Method can safely and effectively relieve clinical symptoms,promote lumbar function recovery,reduce pain degree,alleviate inflammatory responses,and improve hemorheology.
