Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of pregabalin coupled with acupuncture and rehabilitation training on lumbar disc herniation (LDH).Methods Following diagnosis and confirmation by CT or MRI,60 patients with LDH were randomly divided into 3 groups:group A,the pregabalin plus acupuncture and rehabilitation training group;group B,the meloxicam plus acupuncture and rehabilitation training group;and group C,the routine rehabilitation training group or the control group.Scores of VAS and ODI were evaluated,and lumbocrural pain and numbness in the patients of the 3 groups were closely observed before and after treatment.Results Before intervention,there were no statistical differences in ODI,pain and numbness indexes,when comparisons were made between the patients of the 3 groups (P ＜ 0.05).Medical follow-ups 14 days and 1 month after intervention indicated that symptoms of the patients were all improved,and ODI as well as pain and numbness indexes of Group A were more significantly improved,when compared with those of the other 2 groups.Statistical significance could be seen,when comparisons were made between the 3 groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Pregabalin coupled with acupuncture and rehabilitation training could produce better therapeutic effects on lumbar disc herniation.For this reason,it was worth further clinical extension.
