Abstract

Objective

To observe the short-term and long-term efficacy of acupuncture and traction plus Ba Duan Jin (Eight-brocade Exercise) in treating discogenic low back pain (DLBP).

Methods

Sixty patients were divided into an observation group and a control group using the random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. The control group was intervened by acupuncture and traction, while the observation group was given additional Ba Duan Jin (Eight-brocade Exercise) practice. The intervention lasted for a total of 1 month, with a follow-up study conducted 6 months later. The visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores in the two groups were compared before and after treatment, and the efficacy was compared at the end of the treatment between the two groups; the relapse rate was compared at the 6-month follow-up between the two groups.

Results

The pain VAS and ODI scores decreased after treatment in both groups, and the intra-group differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05); the pain VAS and ODI scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group after treatment with statistical significance (both P<0.05). At the 6-month follow-up, the relapse rate was 10.3% in the observation group versus 48.0% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).

Conclusion

The combination of acupuncture, traction and Ba Duan Jin (Eight-brocade Exercise) is an effective method for DLBP and patients who received this method are less likely to relapse.

摘要

目的

观察针刺牵引加八段锦练习治疗椎间盘源性腰痛的近期和远期疗效.

方法

将60名患者按随机数 字表法分为观察组和对照组, 每组30例。对照组采用针刺和牵引治疗, 观察组在对照组干预基础上加用八段锦练 习, 共治疗1个月, 治疗结束后随访6个月。比较两组治疗前后视觉模拟量表(VAS)及Oswestry功能障碍指数(ODI)评 分, 治疗结束时比较两组疗效; 随访6个月比较两组复发率.

结果

治疗后, 两组疼痛VAS评分及ODI评分均较本组 治疗前下降, 组内差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.05); 观察组疼痛VAS评分和ODI评分均显著低于对照组, 组间差异 均有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。随访6个月后, 观察组复发率为10.3%, 对照组复发率为48.0%, 两组复发率差异有统 计学意义(P<0.05).
