Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of traction combined with paraffinotherapy on lumbar function in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). METHODS:100 LDH patients treated in our hospital (from April 2018 to April 2020) were enrolled and randomized into a control group and experimentalexperimental group, with 50 patients each. The control group adopted traction, and the experimentalexperimental group adopted traction combined with paraffinotherapy. Pain symptoms, lumbar function, range of motion (ROM) and isometric muscle strength (IMS) of lumbodorsal muscle, quality of life, and clinical efficacy were compared before and after treatment. RESULTS: ① After treatment, the effectiveness rate of 96% in the experimental group was higher than the 84% in the control group (P=0.046). ② Visual analogue scale (VAS) score in both groups after treatment was lower than that before treatment, and the experimental group was lower compared with controls (P < 0.05). ③ ROM and IMS of lumbodorsal muscle in both groups after treatment were higher than those before treatment, and the experimental group was higher compared with controls (P < 0.05). ④ The Japanese Orthopaedic Association (M-JOA score) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) in both groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment, and the experimental group was lower compared to controls (P < 0.05). ⑤ After treatment, the life quality indexes of both groups were higher than those before treatment, and the experimental group was higher compared to controls (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The treatment of traction combined with paraffinotherapy for LDH patients has significant therapeutic efficacy, and can alleviate lumbocrural pain, improve lumbar function and life quality, and is worthy of application.
