Objective:To observe the clinical effect of electroacupuncture(EA)of different frequencies for the third lumbar transverse process syndrome.Methods:A total of 80 cases with the 3rd lumbar transverse process syndrome were randomized into two groups,40 in each group.Ashi points were connected with K8832-T treatment device in the medium-frequency electroacupuncture(EA)group,whereas Ashi points were connected with G6805-2 electric stimulator in the traditional EA group.The curative effects were evaluated after 10 treatment sessions.Results:The therapeutic efficacy in the medium-frequency EA group was significantly better than that of the traditional EA group(P<0.05).In addition,the improvement of VAS scores in the medium-frequency EA group was more notable than that of the traditional EA group(P<0.05).Conclusion:The medium-frequency EA is an easy and effective therapy for the 3rd lumbar transverse process syndrome and therefore worth popularizing to benefit the patients.
Objective： To observe the clinical effect of electroacupuncture （EA） of different frequencies for the third lumbar transverse process syndrome. Methods： A total of 80 cases with the 3rd lumbar transverse process syndrome were randomized into two groups, 40 in each group. Ashi points were connected with K8832-T treatment device in the medium-frequency electroacupuncture （EA） group, whereas Ashi points were connected with G6805-2 electric stimulator in the traditional EA group. The curative effects were evaluated after 10 treatment sessions. Results： The therapeutic efficacy in the medium-frequency EA group was significantly better than that of the traditional EA group （P〈0.05）. In addition, the improvement of VAS scores in the medium-frequency EA group was more notable than that of the traditional EA group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： The medium-frequency EA is an easy and effective therapy for the 3rd lumbar transverse process syndrome and therefore worth popularizing to benefit the patients.
