〔Abstract〕 Objective To observe the clinical effect of blade acupuncture combined with rehabilitation therapy on patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods 80 patients with LDH treated in the 909th Hospital of PLA Joint Logistics Support Force from January 2019 to August 2021 were randomly divided into observation group (40 cases, treated with blade acupuncture combined with rehabilitation therapy) and control group (40 cases, treated with rehabilitation therapy only). The Japanese Orthopaedic Association evaluates treatment scores (JOA), Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI), visual analogue scale (VAS) and inflammatory factor level, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score and clinical effective rate were evaluated. Results After treatment, the JOA score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the ODI and VAS scores were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). After treatment, the scores of TCM syndrome in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The total effective rate of the observation group was 95.00%, which was higher than 75.00% of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The implementation of blade acupuncture combined with rehabilitation therapy for patients with LDH can enhance the curative effect, reduce the level of inflammatory factors, and improve lumbar function.
