Objectives : The aim of this study was to observe the effect of balanced acupuncture on herniated intervertebral disc of lumbar spine patients.
Methods : We investigated 23 cases of in-patients with acute & subacute herniated intervertebral disc of lumbar spine in oriental hospital, and divided patients into two groups. We treated one group(12 people) by complex oriental medical treatment with Balanced acupuncture, and the other group(11 people) by complex oriental medical treatment without Balanced acupuncture. To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment applied for two groups, we used visual analog scale(VAS) and rating scale for low back pain at admission and discharge.
Results :
1.In balanced acupuncture group and control group, compared with baseline and final. VAS was significantly improved.
2.In Balanced acupuncture group and control group, compared with baseline and final. Rating scale for low back pain was significantly improved.
3.VAS and rating scale for low back pain improvement rate in balanced acupuncture group were no statistical significance compared with control group.
Conclusions : Balanced acupuncture might be used for relieving symptoms related with herniated intervertebral disc of lumbar spine, but it's no statistical significance.
