ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of ultrastructural dense acupotomy treatment in treating lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LIDH). Methods Seventy-two LIDH patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 36 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by ultrastructural dense acupotomy treatment, while the control group was by conventional acupuncture. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after a course of treatment. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was adopted for assessing pain, and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score for estimating the symptoms, signs, and functional activities. Results The VAS and JOA scores were significantly changed in both groups after intervention (P<0.01). There were significant differences in comparing the changes of VAS and JOA scores between the two groups (P<0.01, P<0.05). The total effective rate was 97.2% in the treatment group versus 80.6% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Ultrastructural dense acupotomy treatment is an effective approach in treating LIDH.
