Abstract

[Purpose] This study aimed to evaluate the immediate effects of Balancing acupuncture as adjuvant therapy for patients with acute lumbar disc herniation (ALDH). [Method] We recruited 47 patients with ALDH in Orthopedic therapy center of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine in China. McGill pain questionnaire (MPQ) and clinical effects of Balancing acupuncture were measured. [Results] We found that no case showed clinical cure, 42 cases showed improvement, while 5 cases showed ineffectiveness, indicating an improvement rate of 89.4%. Immediate MPQ total score after Balancing acupuncture was lower than before treatment, which showed a statistical significance between them (P=0.0000<;0.05). Differences in PRI, VAS, and PPI reached statistical significance (P<;0.05). A statistically significant difference was found in Pain perception score before and after treatment (P=0.0125<;0.05), while pain emotion score failed to reach statistical significance (P=0.6983>0.05). [Conclusions] The results suggested that Balancing acupuncture may lead to immediate benefits for patients with ALDH.

一种治疗腰痛的新针灸:平衡针灸治疗急性腰椎间盘突出症的即时效果

【目的】本研究旨在评价平衡针刺辅助治疗急性腰椎间盘突出症(ALDH)的即时效果。[方法]选取广东省中医院骨科治疗中心的ALDH患者47例。测量McGill疼痛问卷(MPQ)和平衡针刺的临床效果。【结果】临床无治愈病例，好转42例，无效5例，改善率89.4%。平衡针刺后即刻MPQ总分低于治疗前，差异有统计学意义(P=0.00000.05)。[结论]结果提示，平衡针刺可使ALDH患者立即获益。
