综合康复治疗腰椎间盘突出症疗效的MRI观察

目的通过分析患者治疗前、后腰椎间盘突出及其周围结构的形态变化的MRI表现，判断综合康复治疗腰椎间盘突出症的疗效。方法腰椎间盘突出症患者40例，采用物理因子、药物、牵引、推拿、医疗体操进行30d的综合康复治疗。疗程结束后对患者进行腰椎MRI复查，评估治疗效果及治疗前、后突出椎间盘及其周围结构的形态变化。结果综合康复治疗腰椎间盘突出症的有效率为82．5％，治疗前、后的腰椎间盘MRI信号强度、厚度、突出的程度、椎管前后径与横径、侧隐窝宽度等的差异均无统计学意义。结论综合康复疗法不能对腰椎间盘突出症的形态改变产生明显影响，但可有效缓解或消除腰椎间盘突出症患者的临床症状。

The efficacy observation of comprehensive rehabilitative treatment for lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion using MRI

Objective To evaluate the curative effect of comprehensive rehabilitative treatment for lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion by using the MRI tests before and after the treatment. Methods Forty patients with lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion were treated by a comprehensive rehabilitative treatment program composed of physical modalities, medications, traction, massage and medical gymnastics, for 30 days. MRI test were performed with all the patients, and comparison of the MRI manifestations before and after the treatment was conducted to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy. Results The clinical effective rate was 82.5%. There was no significant difference between the MRI manifestations, including MRI signal intensity, thickness and degree of the protrusion, anteroposterior and transverse diameter, width of lateral recess, before and after the treatment. Conclusion The comprehensive rehabilitative treatment program used in this study did not significantly decrease the size of lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion, but did relieve or cure the clinical symptoms of the patients.
