  • Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical effects of Dong-qi acupuncture on piriformis for herniated intervertebral disc(HIVD) of lumbar spine patients with piriformis muscles tenderness. Methods : This research was carried out on the 60 inpatients who received treatment for their HIVD of lumbar spine from January 1 to May 31, 2014 in DaeJeon Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine. We divided them into two groups ; group A(n=30) : common treatment on HIVD of L-spine without Dong-qi acupuncture on piriformis(acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, herb medication, Chuna and physiotherapy), and group B(n=30) : common treatment on HIVD of L-spine with Dong-qi acupuncture on piriformis. We evaluated the treatment effect of each group on tenderness(checked by Algometer pressure), and with a numeric rating scale(NRS), and oswestry disability index(ODI). The evaluations of tenderness were performed 8 times : admission day, and on the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, 18th and 21st day after admission. The evaluations of NRS and ODI were performed 3 times : admission day, and on the 12th and 21st day after admission. The statistical significance was evaluated by SPSS 18.0 for Windows. Results : In group B, tenderness was significantly decreased compared with group A. The difference of tenderness from admission day to the 12th day showed significant reduction compared with group A. Conclusions : Dong-qi acupuncture is more effective in reducing piriformis muscle tenderness in the early stages of treatment. We expect that patients who receive Dong-qi acupuncture will be satisfied with Korean medical treatment and trust their doctor.

  • To examine the efficacy of electrical acupuncture combined bee venom in controlling low back with leg pain induced Herniated Intervertebral Disc (HIVD). 13 patients (men 8, women 5; age $41.30\;{\pm}\;17.27$) diagnosed as HIVD by CT or MRI had low back and leg pain as a chief complaint and diseases such as spinal tumor, infection and fracture were excluded. They were treated by electrical acupuncture (8 Hz) combined bee venom therapy three times a week in Wonkwang University Hospital, and pain intensity with VAS and functioning with Roland-Morris Disability Qestionnaire(RDQ) were measured at the baseline(B), and 4 weeks after treatment. The data were analyzed with Wilcoxon signed ranks test(SPSS12.0) and the level set for statistical significance was P<0.05. The pain was significantly reduced by two combined treatments (=0.002;$B7.69{\pm}2.06$,4Wks$4.70{\pm}2.72$). The function was also significantly improved by both treatments(=0.001;$B12.15{\pm}6.85$,4Wks$6.85{\pm}5.15$). The results suggest that a combination of acupuncture and bee venom therapy may be beneficial for low back pain from HIVD. In future, randomized clinical trials including follow-up are needed to examine the effects of these therapies.
