Objective: Lumbar disc herniation is a common clinical disease in all ages, both men and women, with an increasing rate due to living habits in modern life. Methods: The disease is manifested by two main syndromes: spinal syndrome and nerve root syndrome, in which pain is the main symptom that causes the patient to seek medical attention as well as limit daily activities. The study was conducted to evaluate the pain relief effect of electroacupuncture combined with stretching the lumbar spine. Results: Using the clinical intervention research method, comparing before and after and having a control group on a total of 66 patients after 30 days of treatment, the results were given: the VAS scale score decreased significantly. Achieving 90.9% treatment effectiveness, 9.1% no results. Conclusion: The combined method of electroacupuncture and stretching is statistically better at treating lumbar disc herniation than the stretching method alone.
