Brief summary (from the registry)
Lumbar disk herniation (LDH)is a prevalent health problem around the world. It can cause symptoms of low back pain, numbness or weakness.The understanding of low back pain in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) theory"unbalanced bones and muscles"that is consistent with the description of modern medicine on LDH function pathology. Tuina is one of Diagnosis and treatment methods in TCM which has been used as a noninvasive treatment of LDH. However, the mechanism of Tuina therapy in LDH is still unclear.The purpose of this study is to establish a platform of the therapeutic effect and mechanical effect of LDH in the treatment of LDH，explore the characteristics of Tuina by the motor control in lumbar CNS,observe the patterns and regularities in the function of related brain regionin of patients with acute or chronic LDH and reveal the mechanism of Tuina of improving the control of lumbar spine CNS movement.
