| Objective: Explore the clinical effects and the influences on EMG of treating lumber disc herniation using “shuci” method, and compare with that of conventional acupuncture, so as to provide objective basis for “Shuci” in treating lumber disc herniation.Method: Divide 60 patients randomly into two groups. One is the observation group using “shuci” in the waist 2~5 points of the affected side. The other is the control group using conventional acupuncture in the same points. Both select the same affiliated points. Treat 1 time a day, and 6 times a period, then take an interval of 1 day and continue the next period of treatment. The whole treatment concludes two periods. Before and after the 2 periods of treatment, detect the amplitude of the peroneal nerve and the posterior tibial nerve as well as the occurance rate of F wave, and do the visual analogue scale.Results: Both the two methods can improve the amplitude of the peroneal nerve and the posterior tibial nerve as well as the occurance rate of F wave.The VAS score was significantly decreased after the treatment. The efficiency of the observation group is 100% while the control group is 93.33%. So the efficiency is higher in the observation group. The efficiency are significantly different between the after and the before(P<0.05), which indicates that both the two methods have good treating effects. After the treatment, the two groups showed significant differences(P<0.0.5), which indicated the clinical effects are better in the observation group than the control group.Conclusions: Both the “shuci” method and the conventional method can improve the amplitude of the peroneal nerve and the posterior tibial nerve as well as the occurance rate of F wave, and significantly improve the patients clinical syndromes and the relevant indexes of the daily movement. But the “Shuci” group are superior than the conventional group in repairing the hurt-ed nerve, eliminating or decreasing the pain and improving the daily movements. |
