Clinical Observation on Treatment of Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Herniation with Electroacupuncture plus Tuina: A Report of 120 Cases / 针灸推拿医学（英文版）

ABSTRACT

Sixty lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LDH) cases were treated with electroacupuncture on such major points as Jiaji ( Ex-B 2) in L4, L5, and S1 and Huantiao (GB 30) as well as adjunctive corresponding points in the affected area plus short-lever micro-adjustment manipulation. Another 60 cases in the control group were treated with tra-ction. After three treatment courses, the former got the effective rate of 93.3%, while the latter only got 77.8%. The two groups have a statistical difference in therapeutic effect (P＜0.05).
