| [Objective] To observe the clinic;al effect in improving dysfunction and impairment of balance acupuncture on lumbar disc herniation. [Methods] This study、onsisted of a multic;enter randomized controlled trial with 2 parallel arms. There were 287 participants in the study, of which 143 in the treatrnent group and 144 in the control group. The treatrnent group received balance ac;upunc;ture, with
Yaotong point alone, while the、ontrol group received traditional ac;upunc;ture. Pain score by doctors and MPQ were employed in this
study for observation and analysis. Oswestry dysfunction index was used in the clinic;al observation. [Results] Compared the effect before
and after treatment, the difference of Oswestry dysfunction index in two groups was significant (P<0.01). Compared between the two
groups, balance acupuncture group showed a little advantage with its average slightly lower than traditional acupuncture group. But the
long-term of balance acupuncture had dominance. [Conclusion] Both balance acupuncture and traditional acupuncture can improve
impairment well in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation and the former seems to have a better long-term efficacy. |
