Objective To investigate the efficacy of along-meridian sensation transmission acupuncture in treating lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. Methods One hundred and thirty-one patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation were randomly allocated to a treatment group of 65 cases and a control group of 66 cases. The treatment group received along-meridian sensation transmission acupuncture and the control group, perpendicular insertion acupuncture. The therapeutic effects were compared. Results The efficacy rate was 98.5% in the treatment group and 68.2% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups （P〈0.01）. Conclusion Along-meridian sensation transmission acupuncture in which Back-Shu points and points in a specific innervated area were selected in combination has a better effect than conventional acupuncture in treating lumbar intervertebral disc herniation.
