Abstract： Objective： To observe the clinical effect of heat- sensitive moxibustion combined with conventional western medicine for lumbar disc herniation with cold- damp syndrome. Methods：A total of 100 patients with lumbar disc herniation with cold- damp syndrome were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group， with 50 cases in each group. The two groups were routinely treated with Cexoxib Capsules and Mecobalamine Tablets；the observation group was additionally treated with heat- sensitive moxibustion based on the routine treatment， and the control group was additionally treated with non- heat- sensitive point suspended moxibustion based on the routine treatment. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores， Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)， scores of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of lumbar and leg pain were compared before and after treatment between the two groups， and the clinical effects in the two groups were comprehensively evaluated. Results： The total effective rate was 96.00% in the observation group and 82.00% in the control group，the difference being significant (P＜0.05). Before treatment，there was no significant difference in the comparison of the TCM syndrome scores between the two groups， such as cold pain of waist and leg， dysfunction of side rotating， continuous lying pain， cold- induced aggravation and cold limbs， and deep and tight pulse or moderate pulse (P＞0.05)；after treatment，all the above TCM syndrome scores in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment (P＜0.05)，and the above scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P＜0.05). Before treatment， there was no significant difference in the comparison of ODI indexes and VAS scores of lumbar and leg pain (P＞0.05)； after treatment， the above scores in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment (P＜0.05)，and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion：Heat-sensitive moxibustion for lumbar disc herniation can significantly improve the function of lumbar spine and relieve the symptoms of lumbar and leg pain， and its short- term curative effect is better than non-heat-sensitive point suspended moxibustion.
