Abstract:Objective To observe clinical effect of pulse point penetrating needling on lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. Methods From June 2017 to April 2018, 80 patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation who met the inclusion criteria in outpatient department of acupuncture of Shunyi Hospital of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group with 40 cases in each group. Observation group was treated with pulse point penetrating needling method, while control group was treated with conventional needling method. Both groups were treated continuously for 4 weeks. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the degree of pain before treatment, 2 weeks after treatment, 4 weeks after treatment and at follow-up. JOA scale was used to evaluate the improvement of low back pain. Clinical efficacy of two groups after 4 weeks of treatment was compared. Results VAS scores of two groups at 2, 4 weeks of treatment and follow-up were lower than those before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). VAS scores of observation group were lower than those of control group at 2, 4 weeks of treatment and follow-up, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). JOA scores of two groups at 2, 4 weeks of treatment and follow-up were higher than those before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). JOA scores of observation group were higher than that of control group at 2, 4 weeks of treatment and follow-up, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). After 4 weeks of treatment, the recovery rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Puncture through pulse acupoints can relieve patients′ pain faster and improve the symptoms of low back pain, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
