Methods： Seventy patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation were randomly divided into two groups by the visit order, 35 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with acupoint sticking therapy and the control group was treated with tuina. After treatment, the clinical effects, pain integral and Japanese Orthopedic Association （JOA） scores were compared between the two groups. Results： The total effective rate, pain integral and improvement of JOA scores were better in the treatment group than in the control group （P〈O.O5）. Conclusion： Acupoint sticking therapy is affirmative in the therapeutic effects and better than tuina treatment for lumbar intervertebral disc herniation.展开更多

Methods： 380 patients were randomized into two groups, 290 in the treatment group receiving hydro-acupuncture together with tuina therapy, and 60 in the control group receiving acupuncture therapy plus pharmacotherapy. The therapeutic results were evaluated at the end of the third treatment session. Results： The total effective rate of the treatment group was 95.5%, and that of the control group was 57.8%, and the difference was statistically significant （P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Lumbar disk herniation responds well to the treatment of combined hydro-acupuncture and tuina therapy.展开更多

Methods： One hundred and twenty cases of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group. Patients in the observation group were treated with tuina plus hydro-acupuncture, and the control group with tuina. Results： The total effective rate was 93.3% and 75.0% respectively in the observation group and the control group, with a significant difference （P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Tuina plus hydro-acupuncture has better effects than tuina on the lumbar intervertebral disc herniation.展开更多

Method： Forty inpatients, were divided into acupuncture and Tuina group（experiment group, n= 20）, and Tuina and acupoint injection group（controlled group, n= 20） with random number table. Patients in the experimental group were firstly needied Fengchi （GB 20, major acupoint）, Taiyang （Ex-HN 5）, Baihui （GV 20）, Shuaigu （GB 8）, and Jiaji （Ex-B 2） around the affected cervical vertebrae, and applied Tuina treatment. Patients in the controlled group were treated with Tuina treatment, and then injection in Fengchi （GB 20） with 500μg of Methycobal. Before and after treatment, all patients in both groups were evaluated with Evaluation Scale for Cervicogenic Headache. Result： After treatment, score of each item of patients in both two groups were enhanced （P〈 0.01）, and compared with patients in the controlled group, patients in the experimental group had higher scores of headache（13.1±3.02 vs 10.8±2.36, P〈 0.01）, daily life and working （3.3±0.66 vs 2.6±0.79, P 〈 0.01）, mental state and social adjustment （3.1±0.85 vs 2.1±0.85, P〈 0.05）, and total points （24.6±4.36 vs 20.3±2.53, P〈 0.01）. Conclusion： Acupuncture combining with Tuina had better effects than acupoint with Tuina, and could effectively relieve pain, and enhance quality of life and ability of social adjustment in patients with cervicogenic headache.展开更多
