Objective

2

To investigate the curative effect of holistic stratified needle-knife releasecombined with bone injury massage on lumbar disc herniation （LDH）.

Methods

2

A total of 380 LDH patients diagnosed and treated from March 2019 to March 2021 in Guangdong Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital were selected as the study objects. According to the random coin toss method， they were divided into the observation group （

n

=192）， who were given the holistic stratified needle-knife release combined with bone injury massage once a day with 4 weeks as one course， and the control group （

n

=188）， who were given the bone injury massage as same as the observation group. On the 1st， 5th and 9th day， the whole layered needle-knife release was used. Lumbar motion， TCM syndrome score and visual analog scale （VAS） score were compared before and after treatment.

Results

2

The excellent and good rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group （

P

<

0.05）. After treatment， the flexion and extension of the lumbar spine in both groups were increased （

P

<

0.05）， and the VAS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group （

P

<

0.05）.

Conclusion

2

The holistic stratified needle-knife release combined with bone trauma massage has a significant effect in the treatment of LDH， and it can significantly improve lumbar function and clinical symptoms， and relieve pain.
