Abstract： Objective： To observe the clinical effect of warming- needle moxibustion for lumbar disc herniation and its effect on lumbocrural pain and recurrence rate. Methods：A total of 120 cases of patients with lumbar disc herniation were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group，with 60 cases in each group. The control group was treated with traction therapy， and the observation group was additionally treated with warming-needle moxibustion based on the treatment of the control group. The clinical effects in the two groups were compared； Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) scores and the levels of lumbar function， blood plasma viscosity， erythrocyte aggregation indexes， coagulation factor I， whole blood high shear viscosity and whole blood low shear viscosity before and after treatment in the two groups were compared； the incidence of adverse reactions and the recurrence of lumbocrural pain in the two groups were compared. Results： The total clinical effective rate was 93.33% in the observation group， higher than that of 70.00% in the control group(P＜0.05). After treatment， VAS scores and the levels of blood plasma viscosity， erythrocyte aggregation indexes， coagulation factor I， whole blood high shear viscosity and whole blood low shear viscosity in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05)， and lumbar function scores were increased(P＜0.05)； the VAS score and the levels of blood plasma viscosity，erythrocyte aggregation indexes，coagulation factor I，whole blood high shear viscosity and whole blood low shear viscosity in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05)， and lumbar function score was higher(P＜0.05). The recurrence rate in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05). Conclusion： Warming- needle moxibustion for lumbar disc herniation has a significant curative effect，which can effectively relieve pain， and promote the recovery of lumbar function，with a low recurrence rate of pain.
