Abstract EN
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a disease with increasing prevalence due to prolongation of average life span.
Despite various treatment methods, many limitations remain unsolved.
Objective.
We are reporting cases of patients who have been treated with Wonli Acupuncture, a method of treating LSS by directly approaching the intervertebral foramen and interlaminar space with acupuncture needles different from those used in original acupuncture.
Methods.
A total of 82 patients with LSS were treated with Wonli Acupuncture, and out of those, 47 patients without exclusion criteria were selected for the following research.
We compared the pretreatment VAS and ODI scores based on 1-year follow-up measurements.
Results.
The ODI value dropped by 15.3 ± 24.8 on average (from 35.2 ± 19.9 at the baseline to 19.8 ± 20.6 at the reading) P < 0.01 and the average VAS also dropped by 19.2 ± 37.2 (from 60.7 ± 23.1 at baseline to 41.5 ± 31.9 at the reading) P < 0.01 .
Conclusions.
Wonli Acupuncture was found to have clinical efficacy for lumbar spinal stenosis.
