Clinical Observation on Acupuncture at the Core Muscle Group Combined with Rehabilitation Training in the Treatment of Chronic Non-specific Low Back Pain
Objective To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture at the core muscle group combined with rehabilitation training in the treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain.Methods A total of 96 patients with chronic non-specific low back pain were randomly divided into observation group and control group,48 cases in each group.The control group was given rehabilitation training,and the observation group was given acupuncture at core muscle group training on the basis of the control group.Patients in both groups were treated continuously for two weeks.After two weeks of treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated.The changes of root mean square(RMS)values of transverse abdominal muscle and multifidus muscle were observed before and after treatment,as well as the scores of Oswestry Dysfunction Index,Roland-Morris Dysfunction Questionnaire and Quebec Low Back Pain Scale.The changes of serum β-endorphin,serum substance P and serum prostaglandin E2 levels were compared before and after treatment between the two groups.The patients were followed up for five months after treatment,and the recurrence of the two groups was evaluated.Results(1)The total effective rate was 93.75%(45/48)in the observation group and 81.25%(39/48)in the control group.The curative effect of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).(2)After treatment,the Oswestry Dysfunction Index score,Roland-Morris Dysfunction Questionnaire score and Quebec Low Back Pain Disorder Scale score of the two groups were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the improvement of Oswestry Dysfunction Index score,Roland-Morris Dysfunction Questionnaire score and Quebec Low Back Pain Disorder Scale score in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).(3)After treatment,the RMS values of transverse abdominal muscle and multifidus muscle in the two groups were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving the RMS values of transverse abdominal muscle and multifidus muscle,the difference being significant(P<0.05).(4)After treatment,the levels of β-endorphin,substance P and prostaglandin E2 in the two groups were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving the levels of β-endorphin,substance P and prostaglandin E2,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).(5)After treatment,the recurrence rate of the observation group was 6.25%(3/48),and that of the control group was 20.83%(10/48).The recurrence rate of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture at the core muscle group combined with rehabilitation training in the treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of patients,improve the levels of β-endorphin,substance P and prostaglandin E2,and the clinical effect is significant.
