RESUMO
[ Objective ] To observe the therapeutic effect of acupuncture on cleft acupoints combined with puerarin intervention for the treatment of prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc with blood stasis. [ Methods ] Sixty cases were divided into two groups by using random number: group A (n = 30) was treated by acupuncturing the Jiaji points from 4th lumbar vertebrae to 1st sacral vertebrae and specific points such as Waiqiu (GB36), Weizhong (BL40) and Xiaxi (GB43), and with intervention of puerarin Injection into the region of affected lumbar intervertebral foramen; group B (n = 30) was treated by acupuncturing the same acupoints as group A and with routine acupoint injection of puerarin Injection. After a 30-day treatment , the therapeutic effect in the two groups was evaluated by symptoms and signs scoring and pain visual stimulation scoring method. Peripheral blood interleukin 6 (IL-6) and blood rheology parameters before and after treatment were also observed to investigate the therapeutic mechanism. [Results] After one treatment course, the therapeutic effect in group A was better than that in group B (Z = 2.525, P = 0.012) and the mean treatment course was shorter (P 0.05). [Conclusion] The synergistic action of acupuncture combined with puerarin intervention for the treatment of prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc with blood stasis is better than that of routine acupoint injection of puerarin Injection. The mechanism may be related to the fact that intervention treatment can introduce the drug to the affected area, which benefits the improvement of peripheral blood IL-6 and blood rheology parameters, and thus relieve radiculitis.
RESUMO
【Objective】To devise an effective method for the treatment of prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc.【Methods】Forty-seven patients with prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc were randomized into two groups by random number table.Group A(n=32)was treated with hot-compressing and rubbing with decoction of Jiazhutao(Nerium indicum Mill.)and mature vinegar.Group B(n=15)was given Capsule Fenbid orally and Danshen Injection for intravenous drip.The two groups both received two treatment courses(30 days in all).After treatment,therapeutic effect was compared and the toxic and side effects were observed.【Results】Of 32 patients in group A,23(71.88%)were cured,5(15.62%)markedly effective,2(6.25%)effective,2(6.25%)ineffective,and the total effective rate was 93.75%.Of 15 patients in group B,5(33.33%)were cured,4(26.67%)markedly effective,3(20.00%)effective,3(20.00%)ineffective,and the total effective rate was 80.00%.The effect in group A was superior to that in group B(P
