A total of 60 patients with a definite diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation participated in the clinical study.
Several scales were used to evaluate the pain, the quality of life and the function levels in completing physical and social activities (VAS, JOA, RMDQ, ODIQ), and MRI were used to evaluate the clinical condition.

The statistically significant means results (p< .001) obtained after one ‘8 Needles Method’ treatment course, managed to prove by itself that this acupuncture method was clinically very effective in the treatment of the LDH, once it can:
• Treat the symptoms caused by the disc herniation
