〔Abstract〕 Objective To analysis the effect of blood-pricking and cupping combined with acupuncture on lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods 100 patients with LDH treated in Luoding Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2019 to June 2021 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 50 cases in each group.The control group was treated with routine acupuncture. On this basis, the observation group was treated with blood-pricking and cupping. All patients were treated for 2 courses. The curative effects of the two groups were evaluated. The recovery of lumbar function and the relief of pain symptoms were observed before and after treatment, and the incidence of adverse reactions during treatment was recorded. Results The total effective rate of the observation group after treatment was 96.00%, higher than 82.00% of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). After treatment, the Japanese orthopaedic associatio (JOA) was significantly improved, and the visual analog scale (VAS) score was significantly decreased in both groups. The JOA score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, while the VAS score was lower than that of the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). During treatment, the incidence of total adverse reactions in the observation group was 4.00%, lower than 16.00% in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Blood-pricking and cupping combined with acupuncture is beneficial to the recovery of lumbar function and pain relief in patients with LDH.
