Effect of subcutaneous needling on visual analogue scale, IgG and IgM in patients with lumbar disc herniation: Study protocol clinical trial (SPIRIT Compliant).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a disease commonly seen in clinical practice. In the majority of such patients presenting in clinic, the symptoms can be relieved or even abolished after non-surgical treatment. Floating needle therapy has attracted considerable attention as a promising non-surgical technique to treat LDH, as demonstrated in previous studies. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the outcomes of patients treated using this therapy in a single blind and randomized controlled trial by recording patient report questionnaires and objective test data, and to explore the feasibility and preliminary effects of floating needle therapy for patients with LDH.

Methods

A total of 80 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were randomly divided
