Research Progress of Warm Acupuncture in the Treatment of Third Lumbar Transverse Process Syndrome

摘要: 中医治疗第三腰椎横突综合征是近几年研究的热点之一。温针灸作为一种传统中医疗法，将针刺和艾灸相结合，促进局部血液循环，缓解肌肉痉挛，有助于减轻疼痛，改善患者的症状，提高患者的生活质量。温针灸相较于西医的手术、口服非甾体抗炎药等治疗方式，具有安全性较高，不良反应较少，适合于长期治疗等优势。因此，温针灸在第三腰椎横突综合征的临床应用具有广阔的前景和重要的意义。笔者收集并分析了近几年相关文献，对温针灸治疗第三腰椎横突综合征的相关临床研究进行综述，期望为后续的临床实践提供一些有益的参考。

Abstract: Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of the third lumbar transverse process syndrome has been a hot topic in research in recent years. Warm acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medical technique that combines acupuncture and moxibustion, promotes local blood circulation, relieves muscle spasms, helps alleviate pain, improves patients’ symptoms, and enhances their quality of life. Compared to Western medical treatments such as surgery and oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, warm acupuncture has the advantages of higher safety and fewer adverse reactions, making it suitable for long-term treatment. Therefore, the clinical application of warm acupuncture in the treatment of the third lumbar transverse process syndrome holds vast prospects and significant importance. The author has collected and analyzed relevant literature in recent years, conducted a review of clinical studies on warm acupuncture treatment of the third lumbar transverse process syndrome, and hopes to provide useful references for future clinical practice.
