Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of rotating reduction manipulation with that of trinity orthopedic-spinal manipulation combined with injection of Shenmai Injection(SI) through intervertebral foramen for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation(LDH).Methods Ninety LDH patients were equally divided into 3 groups: group A received trinity orthopedic-spinal manipulation,group B received trinity orthopedic-spinal manipulation combined with injection of SI through intervertebral foramen,and group C received rotating reduction manipulation.Score of lower back pain,and scores of symptoms,signs and activities of daily life evaluated by the modified scale issued by Japanese Orthopaedics Association were examined for the comparison of therapeutic effect in the three groups.Results The score of lower back pain in the three groups after treatment differed from that before treatment(P
ABSTRACT
[Objective] To observe the therapeutic effect of spleen-invigorating and lung-nourishing therapy and its influence on nutritive index and quality of life (QOL) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at stationary phase. [ Methods ] Ninety cases of COPD were randomized into three groups. Group A was given routine symptomatic treatment; groups B and C were given oral use of Jianpi yifei Granules and routine symptomatic treatment and group C was additionally treated with garlic-partition moxibustion and acupoint injection of Shenmai Injection on bilateral Zusanli (ST 36) point alternatively. The treatment lasted 2 months. [Results] The effective rate was 93.33% in group C, 86.67% in group B and 56.67% in group A (P 0.05) compared with those before treatment. Scores of activity of daily life (ADL) , depression and anxiety and the total score of QOL were obviously decreased in groups B and C (P
