本研究的目的是评价针刀治疗腰椎间盘突出症的疗效。本系列病例包括2015年1月至2015年4月在韩国大田大学敦山韩国医院针灸科接受治疗的5名HIVD患者。针刀切开术在两周内进行了三次，同时还接受了韩国的医疗治疗。通过使用数字评定量表(NRS)、体检、OSwestry下腰痛残疾指数(ODI)、简明36项健康调查(SF-36)和外科安全检查表来评估结果。所有病例的神经功能评分、体格检查结果以及ODI评分均有改善。在SF-36上没有发现明显的差异。无患者出现任何不良反应。这项研究发现，在减轻下腰痛和辐射性疼痛以及恢复软组织运动状态方面有令人鼓舞的反应，支持针刀治疗HIVD患者的潜在用途。
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of acupotomy for treating patients with a herniated intervertebral disc (HIVD). This case series includes five HIVD patients who were treated at the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Daejeon University Dunsan Korean Hospital, Daejeon, Korea, from January 2015 to April 2015. Acupotomy was performed three times over a 2-week period, along with Korean medical treatment. The outcomes were evaluated by using a numeric rating scale (NRS), physical examination, the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index (ODI), the Short-Form 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36), and the Surgical Safety Checklist. The NRS and physical examination results, as well as the ODI scores, were improved in all cases. No significant differences were noted on the SF-36. No patients had any adverse effects. This study, with its findings of encouraging responses in reducing low back pain and radiating pain and in recovering the kinetic state of soft tissue, supports the potential use of acupotomy for the treatment of patients suffering from HIVD.
