ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of meridian therapy of Zhuang medicine combined with compound manipulation and electrical interference for treating lumbar disc herniation. MethodsA total of 200 patients with lumbar disc herniation were enrolled, and were randomly divided into treatment group and control group using random number table, with 100 patients in each group. The control group was treated with compound manipulation and electrical interference. The treatment group received meridian therapy of Zhuang medicine on the basis of the control group. Both groups received one course(10 days) treatment. The backaches scale (JOA)score, Visual Analogue Scale（VAS）score and comprehensive efficacy score of both groups were recorded. And the total effectiveness rate of both groups were statistically analyzed. ResultsBefore treatment, there were no significant differences in the JOA score, VAS score and comprehensive efficacy score between the two groups（P＞0.05）. After treatment, the scores of the three items above were improved in both groups compared to the score before treatment, and the scores of the treatment group were superior to those of the control group（P＜0.05）. After treatment, the total effectiveness rate of the treatment group were higher than that of the control group ［94.00%（94/100）vs.84.00%（84/100）, P＜0.05］. ConclusionMeridian therapy of Zhuang medicine combined with compound manipulation and electrical interference can obtain a definite efficacy for treating lumbar disc herniation.
