摘要
Objective： To observe the effect of acupuncture plus LONG＇s manual manipulations on the functional improvement of the patients with lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion. Methods： 60 cases of the patients were randomly divided into a observation group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with acupuncture plus LONG＇s manual manipulations, and the control group was treated with single acupuncture. The functions of the lumber vertebrae were processed in accordance with the assessment system of Japanese Orthopedic Association （JOA）, and the therapeutic effects were assessed by Visual Analog Scale （VAS）. Results： After the treatments, the differences in JOA and improvement indexes were statistically significant （P〈0.05） between the two groups. VAS was decreased much remarkably in the observation group （P〈0.01） than before the treatments and decreased remarkably in the control group （P〈0.05） than before the treatments. There was a remarkable difference in VAS between the two groups after the treatments （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Acupuncture plus LONG＇s manual manipulations are better than single acupuncture in improving the functions of the patients with lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion.
目的：观察针刺结合龙氏手法对腰椎间盘突出症患者功能的改善情况。方法：将60例患者随机分为观察组与对照组，每组各30例。观察组采用针刺结合龙氏手法治疗，对照组采用单纯针刺治疗。根据日本骨科学会（Japanese Orthopaedic Association，JOA）评分系统评定腰椎功能，根据视觉模拟评分（Visual Analog Scale，VAS）进行疗效评定。结果：治疗后两组JOA差值及改善指数均有统计学差异（P〈0．05）。观察组的VAS较治疗前有非常显著性降低（P〈0．01），对照组有显著性降低（P〈0．05）；两组治疗后VAS比较有显著性差异（P〈0．05）。结论：针刺结合龙氏手法对腰椎间盘突出症患者的功能改善作用优于单纯针刺治疗。
