ABSTRACT

40 patients with lumbar disc herniation, aged 17-68 years old, including 27 males and 13 females, were treated by combined internal procedure within a week by Vioxx, Methycobalt and Hydrocortisone infected into the disc once a day within 15 day. The syndrome of radicular painful was improved well and rather well in 65-85% of patients. However, for a less number of motion disturbance, surgery was recommended.
