Disc(HIVD), who had been admitted from Jan. 2012 to Nov. 2012. All of 39 patients were treated with acupuncture, Chuna
treatment and herbal medicine during the whole admission period. Verbal numerical rating scale(VNRS) and Oswestry
disability index(ODI) were used to evaluated the effectiveness of the Oriental medical treatment.
Results : 1. Significant improvement of the symptoms of low back pain and leg pain on 39 patients with Spondylolisthesis and lumbar Herniated Intervertebral Disc(HIVD) was seen when evaluated with VNRS and ODI. 2.There was no significant difference of improvement by herniated type when evaluated with VNRS and ODI.. 3.There was no significant difference of improvement by spondylolisthesis type(degenerative and spondylolytic) when evaluated with VNRS and ODI.
Conclusions : These results suggest that in the case of low back pain and lower limb numbness caused by Spondylolisthesis and HIVD, conservative treatments can be considered as one of the options of treating the symptoms beside surgical way.
