The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of pharmacopuncture treatment for lumbar herniated intervertebral disc (LHIVD).
Databases including Korean and Chinese ones were searched to identify all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the effect of pharmacopuncture on LHIVD. Outcome measurements included pain scale and functional index of the lower back and lower limb. The risk of bias of studies was assessed using Cochrane's Risk of Bias tool, and a meta-analysis was conducted.
Sixteen studies were included in the systematic review, and the quality assessment showed equivocal results. The meta-analysis revealed that pharmacopuncture has a significant effect on pain relief and functional status compared to the control intervention.
本系统评价的目的是评估药针疗法治疗腰椎间盘突出症(LHIVD)的疗效。
检索包括中文和韩文在内的数据库,以确定所有评估药针治疗对 LHIVD 疗效的随机对照试验(RCT)。疗效评估指标包括疼痛评分和下腰痛及下肢的功能指数。使用 Cochrane 偏倚风险工具评估研究的偏倚风险,并进行荟萃分析。
系统评价纳入了 16 项研究,质量评估结果不一。荟萃分析显示,与对照组干预相比,药针疗法在缓解疼痛和改善功能状态方面有显著效果。
