The Primary Efficacy Of Treating Discogenic Back Pain With Radiofrequency Thermoagulation And Lumbar Traction

Objective:The discogenic back pain has been paidmore andmore attention to. It is lumbar intervertebraldisc degenerative disease without performance of pressure to nerve tissue. Minimally invasive treatment, non-operation and open surgery have achieved good efficacy. Due to the high expenses and the risk of the operation, the limitation of the surgical treatment has been enlarged. Accordingly, the non-operative and Minimally invasive treatment has become the choice among public. To investigate the curative effect and the possible therapeutic mechanism of Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation and Lumbar Traction in treatment of discogenic back pain. For clinical treatment provide better integrated rehabilitation program.Methods:45 patients of our hospital were divided into two groups in randomly:control group (23 cases) and treatment group (22 cases);Patients in the treatment group were under a treatment of integrated Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation and Lumbar Traction while control group patients were treated with Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation only; An inventory of clinical curative effect was set up, pain states and symptoms assessed with the Japanese Orthopaedic Association low back pain disorders evaluation standard(JOA) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were exactly recorded and Roland-Morris recorded before and after the treatments of both groups.Results:There are significant difference in VAS(the treatment group:5.78 ± 0.58, the control group:4.34 ± 0.56) (P<0.05)、JOA(the treatment group:13.07 ± 1.90, the control group:6.82 ± 1.90) (P<0.05)、Roland-Morris (the treatment group:9.56 ± 1.73, the control group:4.80± 1.72) (P<0.05) and effective rates(the treatment group:95.7%, the control group:90.9%)between the treatment group and the control group.Conclusion:The extension exercise in terms of flatback deformity correction, enhanced lumbar muscles function and mechanical stability to ease pain is more effective than the flexion exercise, there are differences in efficacy.
