Abstract： Objective： To observe the effect of the therapy of abdominal acupuncture combined with acupuncture at Shenshu point(CV6) and Dachangshu point(CV8) on immediate analgesia and improvement of lumbar function in patients with lumbar disc herniation(LDH). Methods：A total of 98 patients with LDH were selected as the research objects and divided into the study group and the control group according to the random number table method， with 49 cases in each group. The control group was given routine acupuncture treatment， and the study group was given abdominal acupuncture combined with acupuncture at Shenshu point(CV6) and Dachangshu point(CV8). Before treatment and ten minutes and twenty minutes after treatment，the degree of pain in the two groups was evaluated by the Visual Analogue Scale(VAS). The lumbar function in the two groups was evaluated by the Modified Japanese Orthopedic Association Low Back Pain Rating Scale(M- JOA) before and after treatment，and the clinical effects and adverse reactions in the two groups were counted. Results：The total effective rate was 95.92% in the study group， higher than that of 77.55% in the control group， the difference being significant(P＜0.05). Before treatment， there was no significant difference being found in the comparison of the scores of VAS between the two groups(P＞0.05). Ten minutes after treatment， the VAS scores in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05)；twenty minutes after treatment，the VAS scores in the two groups were lower than those ten minutes after treatment(P＜0.05). The VAS scores in the study group ten minutes and twenty minutes after treatment were lower than those respectively in the control group(P＜0.05). Before treatment，there was no significant difference being found in the comparison of the scores of subjective symptoms，objective signs and ability of daily living and working of the M- JOA scale between the two groups(P＞0.05). After treatment， the scores of subjective symptoms，objective signs and ability of daily living and working of the M-JOA scale in the two groups were increased when compared with those before treatment， and the above indexes in the study group were higher than those in the control group， the difference being significant(P＜0.05). Conclusion： The therapy of abdominal acupuncture combined with acupuncture at Shenshu point(CV6) and Dachangshu point(CV8) has a significant curative effect on LDH，which has a good immediate analgesic effect and can improve the lumbar function of patients.
