Abstract
Objectives : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Oriental medical treatment in patients with acute lumbar Herniated Intervertebral Disc(HIVD). Methods : This clinical study was carried out on 44 patients with acute lumbar HIVD, who had been admitted from Oct. 2011 to Nov. 2011. All of 44 patients were treated with acupuncture, Chuna treatment and herbal medicine during the whole admission period. Verbal numerical rating scale(VNRS) and Oswestry disability index(ODI) were used to evaluated the effectiveness of the Oriental medical treatment. Result : Siginificant improvement of the symptoms was seen when evaluated with VNRS and ODI. Conclusions : These results suggest that in the case of low back pain and lower limb numbness caused by acute HIVD, conservative treatments can be considered as one of the options of treating the symptoms beside surgical way.
