Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of hooking therapy combined with safflower acupoint injection for treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods: Sixty cases of LDH conformed to the standard were randomly assigned to treatment group (30 cases) and control group (30 cases). The treatment group was treated with hooking therapy combined with safflower acupoint injection, and the control group was given electro acupuncture combined with safflower acupoint injection. The clinical effectiveness of the two groups was observed by visual analogue scale (VAS) and improved Japanese orthopaedic association low back pain score (M-JOA). Results: After the treatment, VAS score and M-JOA score in both two groups were significantly lower than those before the treatment (both P<0.01), more obviously in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.01). The total effective rate in the treatment group was 96.67%, significantly higher than in the control group (70.00%, P<0.05). Conclusion: Hooking therapy combined with safflower acupoint injection can significantly alleviate the symptoms of LDH patients and have the effect of analgesia. Hooking therapy combined with safflower acupoint injection can serve as an optimization scenario for clinical treatment of LDH. |
