The two groups both received ordinary treatment(including healthcare guidance, emotional care, diet arrangement, and defecation nursing), while the observation group was additionally given Da Huang(Rheum Officinale) application at Shenque(CV 8) for 6 h each day. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after successive 3-day treatment. Results: After 3-day treatment, it took significantly less time for the observation group to conduct the first flatulence and defecation than for the control group(P〈0.05); the therapeutic efficacy of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P〈0.01). Conclusion: Da Huang(Rheum Officinale) application at Shenque(CV 8) is effective in treating constipation after lumbar vertebral fracture operation, and it's easy-to-operate and well accepted by patients, hence it's proper to promote this method in clinic.展开更多
