The Clinical Features of Patients With Lumbar Disc Herniation and Chinese Medicine Treatment
Abstract
Objective: To study the clinical features of patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH), discuss the Chinese medicine treatment for LDH.
Methods: 171 patients with low back pain (LBP) from rehabilitation clinic, were analyzed by IBM SPSS 22 software from different people of ages and sexes. The computerized tomography (CT) scan used to diagnose LDH. The treatment methods of LDH, such as small needle knife were compared.
Results: The average age of patients is between 41-42 years old, the most in the age group of 30-39 years old, and the most parts of LDH are L4/L5.
The protruded type of LDH is more in male patients and less in female patients, and the difference was statistically significant at p=0.048 (p<0.05).
Conclusion：Considerable attention to LDH is needed, especially for young people population. The small needle knife has less trauma to patients.

An author should not normally publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in multiple journals or publication venues. Such redundant publication is generally considered to constitute unethical publishing behavior, and if discovered may result in a manuscript under consideration being rejected, or a published article being retracted.
Authors of manuscripts reporting on original research should present an accurate account of the work performed, accompanied by an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the manuscript. The manuscript should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. The fabrication of results and the making of fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and may be cause for rejection or retraction of a manuscript or published article.
