CT layered localization and clinical effect of acupuncture on lumbar disc herniation
To explore the relationship between the effect of acupuncture and layered localization of computed tomography (CT) in treatment of lumbar disc herniation.
Methods
2
Based on the CT layered localization
the herniated lumbar discs were positioned in 5 layers
A
B
C
D and E among 300 patients with lumbar disc herniation. Combined with the horizontal and the frontal planes
the three-dimensional location was formed. Acupuncture was delivered at acupoints including bilateral Shenshu (BL23)
Dachangshu (BL25)
and Huantiao (GB30)
Weizhong (BL40) on the affected side. One intervention of acupuncture was 30 min
once daily; 1 course of treatment was composed of 10 interventions and 2 courses were required. Before and after treatment
Japanese orthopaedic association (JOA) score was recorded
and the effect was evaluated. The curative effect was classified and compared with the CT layered localization.
Results
2
Of 300 patients
226 cases were effective and the effective rate was 75.33%. The JOA scores of all patients
and in the effective group and the non-effective group were higher compared with the scores before treatment (
P
<
0.05). With the layered localization considered
acupuncture was more effective on the cases positioned in C layer. Regarding the horizontal plane
the effect was better on the cases with zone 1 and zone 1-2 involved. In terms of the grade of frontal plane
acupuncture was more effective on the cases graded Ⅰ and Ⅱ.
Conclusion
2
The clinical effect of acupuncture on lumbar disc herniation is related with the layer and the horizontal zone of herniated disc positioned
