Methods: A multi-center, randomized controlled trial was adopted. Three hundred cases of lumbar disk herniations were divided into two groups, an observation group in which 149 cases were treated by electroacupuncture and waist-building exercise, and a control group in which 151 cases were treated by electroacupuncture alone. The clinical efficacy and long-term relapse rate were observed and compared between the two groups. Results: Among 149 cases in the observation group, 80 cases were cured, 57 cases improved, 12 cases failed and 4 cases relapsed; the cure rate was 53.7%, the total effective rate was 91.9% and the relapse rate was 5.0%. Among 151 cases in the control group, 74 cases were cured, 51 cases improved, 26 cases failed and 12 cases relapsed; the cure rate was 49.0%, the total effective rate was 82.8% and the relapse rate was 16.2%. There were significant differences in the cure rate and the total effective rate between the two groups (P〈0.05). Conclusion: Combined electroacupuncture and waist-building exercise had better effects than electroacupuncture in treating lumbar disk herniation.展开更多

Methods: A total of 70 patients with LIDH were randomized into an observation group and a control group, with 35 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with acupuncture at abdomen acupoints plus tuina, while the control group was treated only with tuina treatment. The clinical efficacy was observed after one course of treatment. Results: The cure rate and the total effective rate of the observation group were 83.3% and 96.7%, respectively. The cure rate and the total effective rate of the control group were 39.4% and 78.8%, respectively. There were significant differences in the cured rate and the total effective rate between the two groups (both P<0.05). There was no significant differenee in Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, the JOA scores of both groups in creased sign ifica ntly, and the in tra-group differe nces were statistically sign ifica nt (both P<0.05);the JOA score of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture at abdomen acupoints plus tuina has a better therapeutic effect than tuina alone in the treatment of LIDH.展开更多

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.展开更多

Meth...Objective: To compare the biomechanical effects between oblique Ban-pulling manipulation and lumbar erection-rotation manipulation in sitting position in treating lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LIDH). Methods: A three-dimensional finite element model of L3-S1 was developed to carry out a comparative study between oblique Ban-pulling manipulation and lumbar erection and rotation manipulation in sitting position. The disc protrusion was assumed to be on the rear left of L4 disc, and the manipulations were performed on the right side. The loading process was simulated by two steps, in the first step, only the compression loading was imposed, and in the second step, both the compression loading and axial rotation moment were imposed. The displacement and stress distribution in L4 disc were investigated. Results: The values of stress and displacement in the second step were lower than those in the first step in each manipulation. The stress and displacement differences between the two steps were respectively 1.79 times and 3.03 times larger in oblique Ban-pulling manipulation than those in lumbar erection-rotation manipulation in sitting position. Conclusion: Oblique Ban-pulling manipulation may result in a better biomechanical effect than lumbar erection-rotation manipulation in sitting position for LIDH.展开更多

Methods: One hundred and thirty three patients were randomly allocated to a treatment group of 67 cases and a control group of 66 cases. The patients in the treatment group received abdomen acupuncture and those in the control group, body acupuncture. The improvements in the symptoms were compared after treatment. Results: The efficacy rate was 95.5% in the treatment group and 86.4% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P〈0.05). The cure rate after one course of treatment was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P〈0.05). Conclusion: Abdomen acupuncture has a good effect on lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion with a short course of treatment.展开更多

Methods: One hundred and eighty cases of lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion were randomly divided into three groups, treatment group, control group of acupuncture and control group of western medicine, with 60 cases in each group. The therapeutic effects were compared after 20-day treatments. Result: The effective rate was 96.7% in the treatment group, 80.0% in the acupuncture group, and 81.7% in the Western medicine group. There was a statistically significant difference between the treatment group and two control groups (P〈0.05). Conclusion: It is an effective therapy to treat lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion by puncturing the acupuncture points on both sides of the impaired lumbar vertebrae.展开更多

Methods: A comprehensive analysis was made by a method of metrological analysis according to the data from "China modem acupuncture-moxibustion information databank". Results: Points Huantiao (GB 30), Weizhong (BL 40), Yanglingquan (GB 34), and Jiaji (Ex-B 2) were most frequently used. Acupuncture was the most frequently used therapy and electroacupuncture, the next one. Conclusion: Electroacupuncture is a common and effective way to treat lumbar intervertebral disk herniation. Points Huantiao (GB 30), Weizhong (BL 40), Yanglingquan (GB 34), and Jiaji (Ex-B 2) can be used as a basic prescription for acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of lumbar intervertebral disk herniation. Other acupoints are selected according to the syndrome.展开更多

Methods: A total of 118 eligible LIDH patients were randomized into an observation group and a control group by the random number table method, with 59 cases in each group. The observation group was intervened by balance-impact tuina therapy, while the control group was intervened by conventional tuina therapy, both for consecutive two weeks. The scores of visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI)Z quality of life questionnaire-core 30 (QOL-C30) were observed before and after treatment;the relapse rate was estimated at the sixth month and twelfth month following the treatment. The data were statistically an a lyzed. Results: After intervention, the total effective rate was 96.6% in the observation group versus 91.5% in the control group, and the between-group differenee was statistically significant (P<0.05). The VAS and ODI scores declined significantly after treatment in both groups (all Pv0.05), and the observation group was markedly lower than the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The QOL-C30 score in creased significantly after treatme nt in both groups (both P<0.05), and the observatio n group was markedly higher than the control group (P<0.05). The relapse rates at the post-treatment sixth month and twelfth month in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion: Compared with the conventional tuina therapy, the balance-impact tuina therapy shows advantage in lessening pain, improving the function and enhancing the quality of life in the treatment of LIDH, and it has a lower relapse rate. Thus, this therapy is worth promoting in clinic.展开更多
