Objective：To observe the clinical effect of Pingle fumigation combined with electroacupuncture therapy and th e simple electroacupuncture therapy for lumbar degenerative joint disease.Methods：Divided 60 cases of patients with lumbar degenerative joint disease into two groups randomly according to the inclusion criteria，30 cases in each group.The treatment group was given Pingle fumigation combined with electroacupuncture for treatment，while the observation group was given simple electroacupuncture.The treatment lasted for two weeks in both groups.Compared the changes and the intergroup differences of visual analogue scale(VAS)，Japanese Orthopedic Association(JOA)and the local uniform temperature of infrared thermography of patients in the two groups before and after treatment.Results：After treatment of three days，no significant difference was found in the comparison of VAS between the two groups(P＞ 0.05).After treatment of one week，the comparison of VAS between the two groups showed significance in differences(P＜0.01).After treatment of two weeks，the comparison of VAS between the two groups showed significance in differences(P＜0.01).After treatment，the comparison of JOA and the temperature of infrared thermography between the two groups showed significance in differences(P＜0.05).The total effective rate of VAS was 86.67%in the treatment group and was 63.33%in the control group，and the total effective rate of JOA was 80.00%in the treatment group and was 60.00%in the control group，differences being significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion：Proved prescription of Pingle fumigation combined with electroacupuncture therapy and the simple electroacupuncture therapy have effect in treating lumbar degenerative joint disease，but the therapy of Pingle fumigation combined with electroacupuncture has a better clinical effect and it is worthy of clinical application.
