Clinical Observation Of Auricular Diagnosis And Treatment For Sixty Cases With Lumbar Disc Herniation

Objective:With comparative observation between patients with Lumbar Disc Herniation andhealthy people diagnosed by three common ear diagnosis methods, the visual examinationmethod,palpation and electrical determination method,to obtain the clinical effects whetherthe three methods have the difference or not;To explore the therapeutic effect of treatingthe lumbar disc herniation by “cuting therapy” at the auricular reaction points.Methods:60cases with lumbar disc herniation were randomly selected as observation group，and30cases healthy people as control. To observe the patients and healthy people’sauricular points with the visual examination method, palpation and electrical determinationdiagnostic method，and then do data statistical analysis to get the conclusion. By cutingauricular positive points treatment on lumbar disc herniation, according to the score of theJapanese Orthopaedic Association low back pain surgery(JOA)， and the scores werecompared among the improvement of symptoms situation to get the conclusion.Results:1.By detecting the auriculat positive points with the visual examination, palpation,electrical measurement method and electrical determination diagnostic method, theobservation group and control group both have a very significant difference(P<0.01).2.Three different ear diagnostic methods in the observation group group by the Wilcoxon rank sum test for the Multiple Comparison, have a very significant difference(P<0.017).3.The treatment group with auricular points “cuting therapy” method has a verysignificant difference compared with the control group which used routine acupuncture(P<0.01).Conclusion:1.Methods of visual examination, palpation, electrical determination all have specificdiagnostic valve for lumbar herniation specific;2.In the three diagnostic methods,acuricularelectrical determination positive points has the strongest pathological extent,and then thepalpation method is superior to the visual examination method;3.The clincical effect onLumbar Disc Herniation, combined auricular cut thearpy method with routine acupuncturemethod, is superior to routine acupuncture.
