基于“腰为肾之府”理论运用按穴擦腰法治疗腰椎间盘突出症的临床观察

Treatment of Lumbar Disc Herniation with Acupressure-Rubbing Method based on the Theory of “Waist is the Storehouse of Kidney”

目的:观察基于"腰为肾之府"理论运用按穴擦腰法治疗腰椎间盘突出症(Lumbar disc herniation,LDH)的临床疗效,阐述肾虚与腰腿痛之间的病机内涵,倡导通过温补肾气治疗腰椎间盘突出症的推拿手法。方法:将腰椎间盘突出症患者随机分为对照组和治疗组。对照组采用俯卧位腰椎拔伸法治疗,治疗组采用按穴擦腰法治疗。结果:治疗组总体临床疗效、腰部JOA评分和VAS评分均优于对照组(P <0.05)。结论:以按穴擦腰手法治疗腰突症是"腰为肾之府"理论指导临床治疗的具体体现,其疗效较腰椎拔伸法更为显著,同时也更为舒适安全,其作用机制可能通过调节机体免疫系统而达到"补肾止痛"的效果,值得临床推广运用和深入研究。

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of lumbar disc herniation(LDH) treatment with acupressure-rubbing method based on the theory of"Waist is the Storehouse of Kidney". Methods: A total of 120 patients with LDH were randomly divided into control group and treatment group, with 60 cases in each group. The control group was treated with prone position and lumbar extension. The treatment group was treated with acupressure-rubbing method. All the patients were given treatment once a day and it was continuous for 2 weeks, then the corresponding curative effect was evaluated after experiment. Results: The overall clinical efficacy, waist JOA scores and VAS scores of the treatment group were better than those of the control group(P < 0.05). Conclusion: The mechanism of acupressure-rubbing method curing LDH may be through regulating the body's immune system to achieve the effect of"benefiting kidney for relieving pain"and it is worthy of clinical application and in-depth research.
