Clinical study on acupuncture combined with ozone local injection in the treatment of stenosing tenosynovitis of radial styloid process
Objective To investigate the efficacy of acupuncture combined with ozone local injection in the treatment of stenosing tenosynovitis of radial styloid process.Methods A total of 86 patients with stenosing tenosynovitis of radial styloid process who were admitted to Affiliated Sport Hospital of Chengdu Sport University from September 2020 to September 2021 were enrolled in this prospective study.They were randomly divided into observation group(n=43)and control group(n=43)with the method of random sampling.The control group was treated with acupuncture,and the observation group was treated with acupuncture and ozone local injection.After 2 weeks of treatment,the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.The traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)symptom score,Cooney wrist score and inflammatory reaction were recorded before and after treatment.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).The scores of local swelling,tenderness and TCM symptoms of fist-clenching and ulnar deviation,and the levels of C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin 6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)were decreased after treatment in both groups,and these indexes in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of wrist joint function,range of motion and grip strength were increased after treatment in both groups,and the scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture combined with ozone local injection can achieve good outcomes in the treatment of stenosing tenosynovitis of radial styloid process.The curative effect of acupuncture combined with ozone local injection is superior to ozone local injection alone.
