单穴电针治疗腰椎间盘突出症的临床研究

Clinical Study of Single Point Electroacupuncture Treatment for Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Herniation

目的观察单穴电针技术治疗腰椎间盘突出症的临床效果。方法将195例腰椎间盘突出症患者随机分为A组、B组和C组,每组65例。A组采用单穴电针15 Hz连续波治疗,B组采用单穴电针疏密波治疗,C组采用常规电针治疗。比较3组治疗前后VAS评分和腰椎疾患治疗成绩评分表评分。结果 3组治疗后VAS评分和腰椎疾患治疗成绩评分表评分与同组治疗前比较,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。A组和B组治疗后VAS评分和腰椎疾患治疗成绩评分表评分与C组比较,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。A组治疗后VAS评分和腰椎疾患治疗成绩评分表评分与B组比较,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论单穴电针是一种治疗腰椎间盘突出症的有效方法。

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of single point electroacupunctttre in treating lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. Methods One hundred and Ninety-forty patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation were randomly allocated to groups A, B and C, 65 cases each. Group A received single point electroacupuncture with a frequency of 15 Hz and continuous waves; group B, single point electroacupuncture with sparse-dense waves; group C, conventional electroacupuncture. The VAS scores and the Lumbar Vertebra Disease Therapeutic Effect Rating Scale scores were compared between the three groups before and a^er treatment. Results There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the VAS score and the Lumbar Vertebra Disease Therapeutic Effect Rating Scale score in all the three groups （P〈0.05）. There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in the VAS score and the Lumbar Vertebra Disease Therapeutic Effect Rating Scale score between group A or B and group C （P〈0.05）. There were no statistically significant post-treatment differences in the VAS score and the Lumbar Vertebra Disease Therapeutic Effect Rating Scale score between groups A and B （P〉0.05）. Conclusion Single point electroacupuncture is an effective way to treat lumbar intervertebral disc herniation.
