Objective:1)A retrospective study of the efficacy of ultrasound guided inferior corporotransverse lingament release and CNin the treatment of posterolateral LDH and a prospective study of the efficacy of inferior corporotransverse lingament release combined with LPVB in the treatment of posterolateral LDH should be conducted to investigate the effect of inferior corporotransverse lingament tension on the degree of pain and dysfunction of posterolateral LDH.2)Exploring the relationship between inferior corporotransverse lingament and posterolateral LDH;3)A new method is explored for ultrasound-guided acupotomy and CN.Method.1)Clinical research One:A retrospective review of 85 patients with posterolateral LDH diagnosed in the Department of Pain at Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University between January 2016 and March 2017.Among them,41 patients with corporotransverse lingament release combined with CN were treated as the treatment group,the 44 patients treated with CN alone as a control group.Baseline data were recorded for all enrolled patients.VAS scores and ODI scores were recorded before treatment,at the end of treatment,and at the end of the third month after treatment.SPSS 20.0 was used to perform statistical analysis of all data recorded and efficacy assessment was performed.2)Clinical research two:Among the 80 patients who had been diagnosed as posterolateral LDH in Eye Hospital of China Academy of C.M.between November 2016 and December 2017,they signed the informed consent form and volunteered to participate in the study.Using randomized control,efficacy observation recorders and statistical blindness design methods,80 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups:①40 patients in the treatment group were given ultrasound-guided acupotomy release and LPVB treatment,once every 7 days,2 times for one course of treatment;②In the control group,40 patients were treated with ultrasound-guided LPVB and treated once every 7 days,2 times for one course of treatment.Baseline data for all enrolled cases were recorded in detail,and VAS scores and ODI scores were recorded prior to treatment,at the end of the course of treatment,and at the end of the third month after the end of the course of treatment.SPSS 20.0 was used for statistical analysis of all data recorded and efficacy evaluation was performed.Result1.Research

on posterolateral LDH,which can relieve pain and improve dysfunction;2.Lysis of inferior corporotransverse lingament combined with CN has significant effect on posterolateral LDH,including pain relief and improved body function;3.Lysis of inferior corporotransverse lingament combined with CN and CN alone,both have similar effects in relieving pain.The degree of postoperative pain relief increased with time;4.The inferior corporotransverse lingament release combined with CN and CN alone,the patient’s limb function has increased over time.The combined treatment showed a certain advantage over the simple CN in the improvement of function at the end of the third month after treatment.Conclusion 2:1.The inferior corporotransverse lingament acupotomy release combined with LPVB treatment can effectively improve the VAS and ODI scores of patients with posterolateral LDH,relieve pain and improve dysfunction;2.Ultrasound guidance is one of the effective means to visualize closed transcutaneous treatment such as acupotomy and LPVB;3.Inferior corporotransverse lingament compression may be one of the factors that cause posterolateral LDH pain and dysfunction;4.All invasive procedures in this study were conducted under real-time ultrasound guidance without any adverse events.This is a safer treatment plan. |
