Objecitve: This study was to observe the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture combined with Chinese herbal fumigation and application in the treatment of relapsed lubar disc herniation after lumbar disc surgery. Methods: Eighty-four subjects were randomized into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group (44 subjects) recieved electoacupuncture plus herbal fumigation and application therapy. The control group (40 subjects) only recieved electoacupuncture therapy. The therapeutic results were observed and compared afterwards. Results: The total effective rate was 90.9% in the treatement group and 82.5% in the control group, and the difference was statistally signicicant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The combined therapy of electoacupuncture with CHinese herbal fumigation and application has better therapeutic effect than mono-electroacupuncture in the treatment of post-surgery relapsed lumbar disc herniation.
