Abstract
Objective: To observe the therapeutic efficacy of tuina plus warming needling moxibustion for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods: A total of 90 LDH cases were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 45 in each group. Cases in the observation group received tuina and warm needling moxibustion, whereas cases in the control group received tuina manipulation alone. Results: The total effective rate in the observation group was 88.9% versus 75.6% in the control group, showing a statitical significance (P<0.01). Conclusion: Tuina in combination with warm needling moxibustion works better than tuina manipulation alone for LDH.
