ABSTRACT
Objective:
To observe the clinical efficacy of balance-impact tuina therapy for lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LIDH).Methods:
A total of 118 eligible LIDH patients were randomized into an observation group and a control group by the random number table method,with 59 cases in each group.The observation group was intervened by balance-impact tuina therapy,while the control group was intervened by conventional tuina therapy,both for consecutive two weeks.The scores of visual analog scale (VAS),Oswestry disability index (ODI),quality of life questionnaire-core 30 (QOL-C30) were observed before and after treatment;the relapse rate was estimated at the sixth month and twelfth month following the treatment.The data were statistically analyzed.Results:
After intervention,the total effective rate was 96.6% in the observation group versus 91.5% in the control group,and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The VAS and ODI scores declined significantly after treatment in both groups (all P<0.05),and the observation group was markedly lower than the control group (P<0.05,P<0.01).The QOL-C30 score increased significantly after treatment in both groups (both P<0.05),and the observation group was markedly higher than the control group (P<0.05).The relapse rates at the post-treatment sixth month and twelfth month in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion:
Compared with the conventional tuina therapy,the balance-impact tuina therapy shows advantage in lessening pain,improving the function and enhancing the quality of life in the treatment of LIDH,and it has a lower relapse rate.Thus,this therapy is worth promoting in clinic.
