Methods One hundred twenty patients diagnosed with piriformis syndrome in Department of Pain, Nanjing Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from March 2015 to February 2018 were selected. This study was double-blind study. SPSS 22.0 software was used to generate random number and rank ordinal number. According to the ordinal number, all the patients were divided into acupotomy and yuandunzhen group, yuandunzhen group and acupotomy group with 40 cases in each group. Visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI) and the efficacy of TCM syndrome were evaluated respectively before treatment, at 7th day and 60th day after treatment and the results were statistically analyzed. Results Finally, 105 patients were followed up, and with 35 cases in each group. At 7th day and 60th day after treatment, VAS and ODI scorers in the acupotomy and yuandunzhen group were lower than those in the acupotomy group and the yuandunzhen group (P ＜ 0.01). TCM disease and syndrome effective rate of the acupotomy and yuandunzhen group was higher than the acupotomy group and the yuandunzhen group (P ＜ 0.05).
