| Abstract | [Purpose] This study aimed to evaluate the immediate effects of Balancing acupuncture as adjuvant therapy for patients with acute lumbar disc herniation (ALDH). [Method] We recruited 47 patients with ALDH in Orthopedic therapy center of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine in China. McGill pain questionnaire (MPQ) and clinical effects of Balancing acupuncture were measured. [Results] We found that no case showed clinical cure, 42 cases showed improvement, while 5 cases showed ineffectiveness, indicating an improvement rate of 89.4%. Immediate MPQ total score after Balancing acupuncture was lower than before treatment, which showed a statistical significance between them (P=0.0000<0.05). Differences in PRI, VAS, and PPI reached statistical significance (P<0.05). A statistically significant difference was found in Pain perception score before and after treatment (P=0.0125<0.05), while pain emotion score failed to reach statistical significance (P=0.6983>0.05). [Conclusions] The results suggested that Balancing acupuncture may lead to immediate benefits for patients with ALDH. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
