We attempt to investigate the value of pubescent Angelica and Loranthus decoction combined with traditional Chinese medicine bone trauma manipulation in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation with liver and kidney deficiency and the effect on the Japanese orthopedic association score. We selected 100 lumbar disc herniation patients with liver and kidney deficiency admitted to our hospital from September 2021 to September 2022 and divided them into an experimental group (n=50) and a control group (n=50) according to the envelope randomization method. Control group received pubescent Angelica and Loranthus decoction treatment, after receiving the same treatment as control group, experimental group conducted traditional Chinese medicine bone trauma manipulation. Compared both groups on the efficacy, the function of the lumbar spine, pain and inflammatory response before and after 6 w of treatment. Experimental group possessed higher total effective rate after treatment with pubescent Angelica and Loranthus decoction combined with traditional Chinese medicine bone trauma manipulation than control group after treatment with pubescent Angelica and Loranthus decoction (94.00 % vs. 80.00 %) (p<0.05). After 6 w of treatment, Japanese orthopedic association and functional independence measure score increased, but visual analogue scoring and Oswestry disability index score decreased in both groups and experimental group possessed higher Japanese orthopedic association and functional independence measure score than control group, while lower visual analogue scoring and Oswestry disability index score than control group (p<0.05). After 6 w of treatment, all inflammatory response indexes decreased in both groups and experimental group possessed lower interleukin-1 and interleukin-8 indexes than control group (p<0.05). In the treatment of lumbar disc herniation disease with liver and kidney deficiency, the efficacy of pubescent Angelica and Loranthus decoction combined with traditional Chinese medicine bone trauma manipulation was significant, which helped to reduce the inflammatory response levels, alleviate the degree of back pain and promote the improvement of their lumbar spine function.
