The Ultrasonic Electrical Stimulation Treating Recent Pain after Minimally Invasive Intervention with Disc Degenerative Diseases

Abstract

Objective:To explore the analgesic effect of ultrasonic electrical stimulation for recent pain after minimally invasive interventional therapy for intervertebral disc degenerative diseases (DDD). Methods:From January to August 2019, 130 patients with DDD who were treated by minimally invasive intervention of intervertebral disc, and then were randomly divided into electrical stimulation group and conservative treatment group. After minimally invasive intervention, the electrical stimulation group was treated by ultrasonic electrical stimulation once a day for 7 days. The conservative treatment group was treated with conventional acupuncture and massage once a day for 3 days.The pain degree of before treatment and 3 days, 7 days and 1 month(m) after treatment were evaluated by pain numberical rating scale (NRS), the curative effect of 1 m post-cure was evaluated by NRS weighting method. Results:There was no significant difference of NRS score between the two groups before treatment (P > 0.05). NRS of electrical stimulation group were significant lower than those in conservative treatment group, which was evaluated at several time point for 3 days, 7 days and one month after treatment (P < 0.001). The curative effect of electrical stimulation group on one month after interventional treatment was significantly higher than that of conservative treatment group (P < 0.001). Conclusion:The therapeutic effect of ultrasonic electrical stimulation is better than that of traditional acupuncture and massage for recent pain after minimally invasive interventional therapy with DDD, it is worthy to popularize in clinical treatment.
