To explore an effective method for electroacupuncture treatment of pain in waist and lower extremities due to prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc.
All 98 cases of such disease were randomly divided into a treatment group (n = 53) and a control group (n = 45). The treatment group were treated with local single-point electroacupuncture stimulation, and the control group with routine electroacupuncture stimulation for 8 sessions. The pain in waist and lower extremities in the two groups were continuously evaluated with short-form of McGill pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ).
After first treatment, SF-MPQ scores in the two groups were significantly different from those before treatment (P < 0.001), and there were significant differences between the two groups respectively (P < 0.001) at the each time points.
Local singly-point electroacupuncture has a better analgesic effect on pain in waist and lower extremities due to prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc.
探讨电针治疗腰椎间盘突出症所致腰及下肢疼痛的有效方法。
将98例该疾病患者随机分为治疗组（n = 53）和对照组（n = 45）。治疗组采用局部单点电针刺激，对照组采用常规电针刺激，共治疗8个疗程。两组均采用麦吉尔疼痛问卷简表（SF-MPQ）对腰及下肢疼痛进行持续评估。
首次治疗后，两组的SF-MPQ评分与治疗前相比均有显著差异（P < 0.001），且在各个时间点两组之间也分别存在显著差异（P < 0.001）。
局部单点电针治疗腰椎间盘突出症所致腰及下肢疼痛具有较好的镇痛效果。
