Case Report: Spontaneous regression of extruded lumbar disc herniation following Chuzhen therapy over 3 years
We report for the first time a case of LDH treated at home with Chuzhen therapy, which resulted in disc retraction. In this case, Chuzhen therapy was safe and effective as a monotherapy, but more conclusive and effective evidence is needed to elucidate its specific therapeutic mechanism.
