Objectives : The aim of this study is to investigate the difference of effectiveness according to Pharmacopuncture treatment depth on lumbar spinal herniated Intervertebral Disc.
Methods : We investigated 40 cases of patients with lumbar disc herniation and devided into two groups. Each 12 cases of patients complete treatment and 16 cases of patients droped out. Experimental group was treated with 3cm depth Pharmacopuncture with integrated package treatment and control group was treated the same therapies without 1cm depth Pharmacopuncture. To evaluate the treatment effects of two groups, we used numeric rating scale(NRS), oswestry disability index(ODI).
Results : In NRS of lumbar and sciatica pain and ODI, that of experimental group was much more improved than control group, and decrement of NRS of lumbar pain and ODI showed asymptotically statistical significance along with the duration of treatment.
Conclusions : 3cm depth Pharmacopuncture was thought to be effective for relieving symptoms of lumbar spine herniated nucleus pulposus rather than 1cm depth Pharmacopuncture , although further study is needed.
