To explore specificity of acupoints for treatment of prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc.
One hundred and eighty cases were randomly divided into a treatment group (n = 120) and a control group (n = 60). The two groups were treated with acupuncture, traction and massage therapy. For the treatment group, routine acupoints were selected and deeply needling Ciliao (BL 32) were added. For the control group, only routine acupoints were needled. And other treatments were same in both the two groups.
The total effective rate was 97.5% in the treatment group and 88.3% in the control group, with a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05); after following survey of a half year, the recurrence rate was 8.6% in the treatment group and 20.8% in the control group, with a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05).
The clinical effect of deeply needling Ciliao (BL 32) as main therapy is significantly better than that of the routine selection of acupoints, with a lower recurrence rate.
探讨穴位治疗腰椎间盘突出症的特异性。
将180例患者随机分为治疗组(n = 120)和对照组(n = 60)。两组均采用针刺、牵引及推拿治疗。治疗组选取常规穴位并加刺次髎(BL 32);对照组仅针刺常规穴位。两组的其他治疗相同。
治疗组总有效率为97.5%,对照组为88.3%,两组差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05);半年随访后,治疗组复发率为8.6%,对照组为20.8%,两组差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。
以深刺次髎(BL 32)为主的治疗方法临床疗效明显优于常规选穴,复发率较低。
