Objectives：To observe the clinical effect of wrist-ankle acupuncture combined with medicinal cupping method of Chinese medicine for lumbar disc herniation of blood stasis type.Methods：Selected 160 cases of patients with lumbar disc herniation of blood stasis type as study objects and divided them into the control group and the study group randomly，80 cases in each group.The control group received wrist-ankle acupuncture for treatment，while the study group received wrist-ankle acupuncture combined with medicinal cupping method of modified Taohong Siwu tang.The treatment of the two groups lasted for seven days.Evaluated pain scores of visual analogue scales(VAS)，scores of low back pain evaluation scale of Japanese Orthopedic Association(JOA)and Chinese medicine syndrome scores，and detected levels of serum inflammatory factors as tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)，C-reactive protein(CRP)and interleukins-6(IL-6)of patients in the two groups before and after treatment.Results：After seven days of treatment，the total effective rate was 95.00%in the study group，being higher than that in the control group which was 81.25%，the difference being significant(P＜0.01).VAS scores in the two groups were lower than those before treatment，and VAS scores in the study group were lower than those in the control group，differences being significant(P＜0.05).JOA scores of low back pain and lower limb pain in the two groups were higher than those before treatment，and the two scores in the study group were higher than those in the control group，differences being significant(P＜0.05).Scores of lumbocrural pain，stiff loin，lower limb numbness and heaviness in waist and knee were lower than those before treatment，and the four scores in the study group were lower than those in the control group，differences being significant(P＜0.05).Levels of TNF-α，CRP and IL-6 in the two groups were lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05)，and the three levels in the study group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion：The therapy of wrist-ankle acupuncture combined with medicinal cupping method of Chinese medicine has significant effect in treating patients with lumbar disc herniation of blood stasis type，which can effectively relieve clinical symptoms，pain degree and inflammatory reactions of patients and is worthy of clinical application.
