单穴电针对腰椎间盘突出症镇痛作用的对照研究

Control study on analgesic effect of single-point electroacupuncture on prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc

目的:探寻电针治疗腰椎间盘突出症腰腿痛的有效方法。方法:将98例患者随机分成治疗组(53例)与对照组(45例),两组分别进行局部单穴电针与常规取穴的电针治疗,共治疗8次,并分别采用简化疼痛量表(SF MPQ)对两组患者腰腿痛进行连续动态观测。结果:首次治疗后两组SF MPQ评分均较治疗前有极显著性差异(P<0.001),且每个时间点两组间指标也具有极显著性差异(P<0.001)。结论:局部单穴对腰椎间盘突出症腰腿痛具有较好的镇痛效果。

Objective To explore an effective method for electroacupuneture treatment of pain in waist and lower extremities due to prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc, Methods All 98 cases of such disease were randomly divided into a treatment group （n = 53） and a control group （n = 45）. The treatment group were treated with local single-point electroacupuncture stimulation, and the Control group with routine electroacupuncture stimulation for 8 sessions. The pain in waist and lower extremities in the two groups were continuously evaluated with short-form of McGill pain questionnaire （SF-MPQ）. Results After first treatment, SF-MPQ scores in the two groups were significantly different from those before treatment （P〈0. 001）, and there were significant differences between the two groups respectively （P〈0. 001） at the each time points. Conelusion Local singly-point electroacupuncture has a better analgesic effect on pain in waist and lower extremities due to prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc.
