[Clinical Trials of Slow-rapid Reinforcing-reducing Needling Manipulation at Jiaji (EX-B 2) Acupoint for Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Protrusion].

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of slow-rapid reinforcing-reducing needling manipulation at Jiaji (EX-B 2) acupoint for lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion.

Methods: Sixty subjects met the inclusion criteria of disc herniation were randomly divided into treatment group (n = 30) and control group (n = 30).
