Huoxue Tongbi Powder Iontophoresis Combined with Traction Therapy on Prolapse of Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Disorder Effect
Objective: Observe amelioration of Huoxue Tongbi powder iontophoresis combined with traction therapy to dysfunction in treating lumbar disc herniation(LDH) and influence to interleukin-1β (IL-1β)
tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and β-endorphin(P-EP). Method: One hundred cases with LDH were randomly divided into control group (50 cases) and observation group (50 cases) according to the order of admission.Patients in control group received conventional traction therapy
1 time/day.Based on the therapy of control group
patients in observation group added iontophoresis of Huoxue Tongbi powder
1 time/day.Course of treatment in two groups were 28 days.Before treatment and at the seventh
fourteenth
twenty-first and the twenty-eighth day after treatment
patients conditions of pain were recorded by visual analogue scales(VAS)method.Before and after treatment and in the third mouth after finishing treatment
dysfunction of patients with LDH were evaluated by Oswestry dysfunction index.after treatment
the main symptom and sign of LDH were graded.Before and after treatment
the levels of β-endorphin in plasma
interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in serum and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) were detected. Result: After treatment both groups' scores of VAS continued decreasing
and at the seventh
fourteenth
twenty-first and twenty-eighth day
scores of VAS in observation group were lower than those in control group(P<0.01).Analyzed by Ridit
disease curative effect in observation group was superior to control group(P<0.05).Compared with the time before treatment
oswestry dysfunction index in two groups decreased(P<0.01)
and Oswestry dysfunction index in observation group was lower than the control group(P<0.01).Third month after finishing treatment
oswestry dysfunction index in two groups increased a little(P<0.01)
but Oswestry dysfunction index in observation group was still lower than the control group(P<0.01).Scores of lumbar and leg pain
numbness of lower limb
lower limb radiation pain and pressing pain in observation group were lower than those in control group(P<0.01). The two groups after treatment than before treatment increased plasma β -EP
after treatment the observation group of β-EP levels higher than the control grou (P<0.01).Level of IL-1β in serum and TNF-α in two groups decreased and the level of IL-1β in serum and TNF-α in observation group were lower than those in control group(P<0.01). Conclusion: Huoxue Tongbi powder iontophoresis combined with traction therapy can relief patients' pain with LDH
ameliorate patients' symptom and sign and promote patients' functions to recover.
