Background: Lumbar disc herniation (LDH), a common disease, is often treated conservatively, frequently resulting in spontaneous resorption of the herniated disc. The incidence of this phenomenon, however, remains unknown. Objective: To analyze the incidence of spontaneous resorption after conservative treatment of LDH using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Study Design: Meta-analysis and systematic review of cohort studies. Setting: The work was performed at The Suzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Methods: We initiated a search for the period from January 1990 to December 2015 using PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Two independent reviewers examined the relevant reports. The references from these reports were also searched for additional trials using the criteria established in the PRISMA statement. Results: Our results represent the pooled results from 11 cohort studies. The overall incidence of spontaneous resorption after LDH was 66.66% (95% CI 51% – 69%). The incidence in the United Kingdom was 82.94% (95% CI 63.77% – 102.11%). The incidence in Japan was 62.58% (95% CI 55.71% – 69.46%). Limitations: Our study was limited because there were few sources from which to extract data, either in abstracts or published studies. There were no randomized, controlled trials that met our criteria. Conclusions: The phenomenon of LDH reabsorption is well recognized. Because its overall incidence is now 66.66% according to our results, conservative treatment may become the first choice of treatment for LDH. More large-scale, double-blinded, randomized, controlled trials are necessary to study the phenomenon of spontaneous resorption of LDH.

Abstract Background: This study aims to explore the clinical efficacy of radiofrequency ozone and injection of anti-inflammatory analgesic solution into the internal orifice of nerve root combined with traditional Chinese medicine hook operation in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Methods: The patients with lumbar disc herniation in our hospital from December 20, 2017 to June 19, 2019 were selected as the main research subjects, and the patients were numbered according to the order of their first visits, and the included patients were divided into treatment group and control group using random number table method. Patients in the treatment group were treated with radiofrequency ozone and injection of anti-inflammatory analgesic solution into the internal orifice of nerve root combined with traditional Chinese medicine hook operation. Patients in the control group were treated with traditional lumbar intervertebral disc radiofrequency treatment. The clinical treatment effects of the two groups were observed. Results: A total of 113 patients were included in this study, of which 73 were in the treatment group and 40 were in the control group. The results of the study showed that the NRS scores of patients in the treatment group before treatment were 5±1.68 points, and the NRS scores were 2±0.78 points, 1±0.54 points, and 1±0.77 points 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year after treatment, respectively. The NRS scores of patients in the control group were 3±0.48 points, 2±0.63 points, and 2±0.85 points 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year after treatment. Compared with before treatment and the control group, there were significant differences (P<0.01). Conclusion: Compared with single lumbar intervertebral disc radiofrequency treatment, radiofrequency ozone and injection of anti-inflammatory analgesic solution into the internal orifice of nerve root combined with hook operation can obtain good short-term and medium-term effects in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. It is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment method.
