Methods One hundred and sixty cases were randomly divided into 2 groups. Of which, in fire needling group (80 cases), fire needling was applied and Ashi points (choosing the spinous processes of the affected vertebras as the central points) were selected. In western medicine group (80 cases), medication was applied with Nabumetone capsules for oral administration. Two groups were treated for 2 courses and the therapeutic effects were evaluated 4 weeks after the treat- ment. Results The total effective rate was 96.3% in the fire needling group and 67.5% in the western medicine group, indicating a significant difference in comparison of the 2 groups (P〈0.05). Conclusion The therapeutic effect of fire needling is much superior to that of medication therapy on supraspinal ligament impairment.展开更多
