Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Jin’s Three-Needle Therapy combined with shock wave therapy in patients with sciatica due to lumbar spondylosis.

Subject and methods: A controlled clinical intervention study with pre–post and between-group comparisons was conducted on 60 patients aged ≥38 years. According to traditional medicine pattern differentiation, all patients exhibited Kidney and Liver deficiency with wind–cold–damp invasion. The study group received Jin’s Three-Needle acupuncture combined with shock wave therapy, while the control group received standard electroacupuncture according to the Ministry of Health protocol, also combined with shock wave therapy.

Results: Pain intensity, Lasègue’s sign, and lumbar flexibility (Schober’s test) significantly improved after treatment in all patients (p<0.05). The overall effective rate (good and fair response) was 83.3% in the study group and 80.0% in the control group, which was not statistically significant (p>0.05).

Conclusion: Jin’s Three-Needle Therapy combined with shock wave therapy showed comparable efficacy to standard electroacupuncture combined with shock wave therapy in treating sciatica due to lumbar spondylosis.
