Abstract

Object: The purpose of this study is to treat lumbar spine pain caused by disc herniation by evaluating the effects of three different approaches (electroacupuncture, acupressure massage, and health activities) on pain alleviation and range of motion. Methods and subjects: Patients with lumbar spine pain from disc herniation who received a combination of three treatments for 14 days at Nam Dinh Provincial Hospital of Traditional Medicine were the subjects of a prospective descriptive study with longitudinal follow-up comparing before and after, from October 2024 to April 2025. Results: There are 48 patients participating in the study. When compared to 6.48±1.12, the average VAS pain score decreased to 4.18±1.16 (p<0.05). Before treatment, the average lumbar spine extension was 2.18±0.82 cm; following 14 days of treatment, it was 3.16±0.54 cm. Following therapy, there were improvements in flexion, extension, and left and right tilt motions. Changes in spinal extension, flexion, extension, and tilt movements to the left and right were statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: Patients with lumbar spine discomfort from disc herniation found that the combination of three therapy modalities improved range of motion and reduced pain.
