ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of hydro-medicinal cupping using Chinese medicinal granules in treating discogenic low back pain. Methods Sixty patients with discogenic low back pain were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. The two groups were both intervened by hydro-medicinal cupping at Yaoyangguan (GV 3) and two sides of the point, while the Chinese medicinal granules were used in the treatment group and the conventional form of medicine was used in the control group. The pain score was observed before treatment and after 4 treatment courses, and the clinical efficacies were also compared. Results The pain scores were significantly changed after intervention in both groups (P0.05). The total effective rate was 93.3%in the treatment group versus 96.7% in the control group, and the difference was statistically insignificant (P>0.05). Conclusions Hydro-medicinal cupping is an effective approach in treating discogenic low back pain, and there is no marked difference in efficacy between the Chinese medicinal granules and conventional form of medicine.
