Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of Dong's extraordinary point acupuncture combined with medium frequency pulse electrotherapy on lumbar disc herniation.Methods Eighty patients with lumbar disc herniation who were admitted to Xiangshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2021 to October 2023 were selected and randomly divided into study group and control group,with 40 cases in each group.Twelve patients were lost during treatment,and eventually 68 patients were enrolled in this study,including 34 in the study group and 34 in the control group.The control group was treated with conventional acupuncture combined with medium frequency pulse electrotherapy,and the study group was treated with Dong's extraordinary point acupuncture with medium frequency pulse electrotherapy,both for 2 weeks,3 times a week.Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score,Japanese Orthopaedic Society(JOA)score and Oswestry Disability Index(ODI)were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results VAS score and ODI were significantly decreased and JOA score was significantly increased after treatment in both groups(P<0.001).VAS score and ODI in the study group were lower than those in the control group after treatment,while JOA score in the study group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.001).Conclusion Dong's extraordinary point acupuncture combined with medium frequency pulse electrotherapy is superior to conventional acupuncture combined with medium frequency pulse electrotherapy in treatment of lumbar disc herniation.It can faster relieve clinical symptoms and restore lumbar disc function,and is worthy of clinical application with satisfactory safety.
