Effect of Nerve Mobilization on Sciatica in Patients with Lumbar Disc Herniation
Abstract： Objective To explore the effect of nerve mobilization on sciatica in patients with lumbar disc herniation. Methods 46 pa-tients with lumbar disc herniation were divided into treatment group (n=23) and control group (n=23). The control group received conven-tional rehabilitation treatment, the treatment group received nerve mobilization everyday in addition for 1 month. The score of Visual Ana-logue Scale (VAS) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association score (JOA score) were observed before and after treatment. Results There was no significant difference in the score of VAS and JOA between 2 groups before treatment (P>0.05). The score of VAS was significantly lower (P<0.001), and the JOA score was significantly higher (P<0.001) in the treatment group than in the control group after treatment. Conclu-sion The nerve mobilization is effective on sciatica in patients with lumbar disc herniation.
