OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical effect of acupuncture combined with nerve block treatment on grade I lumbar spondylolisthesis. METHODS: Seventy patients with grade I lumbar spondylolisthesis were randomly divided into a control group (n = 70) treated with merely nerve block and an observation group (n = 70) treated with acupuncture based on the nerve block treatment in the control group. The clinical efficacy rate, pain severity evaluated by VAS (on the 3rd day and in one week after treatment), recovery of spinal functions evaluated by Oswestry Dysfunction Index (ODI) and the quality of life reflected by the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The overall efficacy rate (94.29% versus 77.14%, p = 0.036) and SF-36 score of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (both p < 0.05). The VAS and ODI scores of the two groups after treatment were decreased and the observation group had lower scores (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Acupuncture combined with nerve block can improve the efficacy rate of treatment of grade I lumbar spondylolisthesis, relieve the pain of patients, restore their spinal functions and improve their quality of life, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
