Abstract

Objective

To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) combined with traction and modified oblique Ban-pulling manipulation on lumber intervertebral disc herniation (LIDH).

Methods

A total of 90 eligible cases were randomly allocated into three groups, 30 in each group. Cases in group A were treated with EA, traction and tuina of modified oblique Ban-pulling manipulation; cases in group B were treated with traction and tuina (same as group A); and cases in group C were treated with traction alone (same as the other two groups). Then the therapeutic efficacies in the three groups were evaluated using the Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score rating system.

Results

The results after treatment and 1-month follow up showed that JOA scores in all three groups were improved (P<0.01); the total effective rate in Group A was 96.7%, versus 90.0% in group B and 70.0% in group C, showing a significantly better effect than the other two groups (P<0.01).

Conclusion

EA combined with traction and modified oblique Ban-pulling manipulation can obtain better effect than traction alone and traction combined with modified oblique Ban-pulling manipulation for LIDH.

摘要

目的

观察电针配合牵引及改良斜扳法治疗腰椎间盘突出症(lumber intervertebral disc herniation, LIDH)的临床疗效。

方法

将90例符合诊断标准的患者随机分为3组, 每组30例。 A组予以电针、 牵引及改良斜扳法推拿治疗; B组予以与A组相同的牵引及推拿治疗; C组予以与其他两组相同的牵引治疗。 治疗结束后根据日本骨科协会(Japanese Orthopedic Association, JOA)的评估分数评价疗效。

结果

治疗后及随访1月后, 3组JOA评分均较本组治疗前有改善(均P<0.01)。 A组总有效率为96.7%, B组和C 组分别为90.0%和70.0%, A组总有效率明显优于其他两组(P<0.01)。

结论

电针配合牵引及改良斜扳法可提高腰椎间盘突出症的疗效, 优于单纯牵引和牵引配合改良斜扳法。
