ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy effect of Yaotongning Capsules combined with thunder-fire moxibustion on lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods: A total of 80 LDH patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 40 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with Yaotongning Capsules combined with thunder-fire moxibustion, and the control group was treated with ibuprofen sustained release capsule combined with thunder-fire moxibustion. VAS score, JOA score, ODI score and clinical efficacy were compared. Results: VAS scores and ODI scores of the two groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05), and the JOA score was higher than that before treatment (P < 0.05); After treatment, the VAS score and ODI score in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05); After treatment, the JOA score was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The clinical efficacy of the observation group was better than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The clinical treatment of Yaotongning Capsules combined with thunder-fire moxibustion treating LDH can obviously alleviate the pain symptoms and improve the daily function of the patients, which is worthy of further clinical application.
