Effect of intermediate-frequency therapy apparatus combined with traditional Chinese medicine intervention on breast adenosis and its impact on carcinogenesis
Objective To observe intermediate-frequency therapy apparatus combined with traditional Chinese medi-cine(TCM)intervention on breast adenosis and its impact on carcinogenesis.Methods A total of 122 patients with breast ade-nosis were randomly assigned to the control group(n=61)or the observation group(n=61).All patients were treated with TCM intervention,and those in the observation group were additionly treated with intermediate-frequency therapy apparatus.A 3-month intervention was performed,aiming to compare the scores of mass hardness,health knowledge,compliance,and satis-faction between groups before and after intervention.The time to half reduction and complete disappearance of the mass was coun-ted.The rate of tumor recurrence and upgrading at breast imaging-reporting and data system(BI-RADS)grade on month 6 and year 1 was assessed.Results After intervention,the scores of mass hardness in the both groups were significantly lower than those before intervention(P<0.05),and the decrease in the observation group was more common compared to the control group(P<0.05).After intervention,the time to half reduction and complete disappearance of the mass in the observation group was shorter than that of the control group(P<0.05).After intervention,the health knowledge scores in the both groups were significantly higher than those before intervention(P<0.05),and which in the observation group was superior to the control group(P<0.05).After intervention,the rate of tumor recurrence and upgrading at BI-RADS in the observation group on month 6 and year 1 was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).After intervention,the scores of compliance and sat-isfaction in the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group(both P<0.05).Conclusion The intermediate-frequency therapy apparatus combined with TCM intervention has a reliable effect for breast adenosis,which has a good intervention effect on tumor.It can improve their health knowledge,reduce recurrence rates,and improve compliance and satisfaction in the patients.
