Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of indirect moxibustion treatment for HIVD patients.
Methods: From March 2010 to December 2010, 32 HIVD patients who admitted to Semyung oriental medical hospital were divided into two groups. Group Ⅰ was treated by indirect moxibustion and general acupuncture, group Ⅱ by general acupuncture. We evaluated the treatment effect of each group with the visual analog scale(VAS) and Oswestry disability index(ODI) by dividing three period(from admission day to third day after admission, from third day to sixth day after admission and from sixth day to ninth day after admission).
Results: 1. Group Ⅰ was more effective than group Ⅱ in VAS score reducing rate at sixth day after admission and ninth day after admission but there was no statistical significance between two groups at third day after admission. 2. Group Ⅰ was more effective than group Ⅱ in VAS improvement rate from third day to sixth day after admission but there was no statistical significance between two groups from admission day to third day after admission and sixth day to ninth day after admission. 3. Group Ⅰ was more effective than group Ⅱ in ODI score reducing rate at sixth day after admission and ninth day after admission but there was no statistical significance between two groups at third day after admission. 4. In ODI improvement rate group Ⅰ was higher than group Ⅱ, but there was no statistical significance.
Conclusions : Through this research, Indirect moxibustion treatment is considered to be effective reducing pain for HIVD(Herniated intervertebral disc) patients.
