The Influence of Thumbtack Needle Siege Combined with Acupoint Moxibustion on Pain in Patients with Lower Limb Arteriosclerosis Obliterans
Objective:To observe the influence of thumbtack needle siege combined with acupoint moxibustion on pain in patients with lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans.Methods:A total of 66 LLASO patients who were treated in Xingguo People's Hospital from Octo-ber 2020 to September 2022 were selected and divided into the observation group and the control group according to the random number table method,with 33 cases in each group.Both groups were given conventional treatment first,and then the observation group was addi-tionally given thumbtack needle siege combined with acupoint moxibustion.The visual analogue score(VAS),pain duration,self-rating anxiety scale(SAS),homocysteine(Hcy),ankle brachial index(ABI),syndrome score,calf and toe skin temperature changes and clinical efficacy of the two groups were observed before and after treatment.Results:The effective rate of the observation group was 66.67％,while that of the control group was 93.94％.The effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,with statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).After treatment,the VAS score and SAS score of the observation group were lower than those of the control group,while the duration of limb pain was shorter than that of the control group,with statistically signifi-cant differences(P＜0.05);The Hcy level in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,while the ABI,skin tem-perature of the calf and the toe were higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05);The syndrome scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Conclusion:The method of thumbtack needle siege combined with acupoint moxibustion can relieve the pain of pa-tients with LLASO,reduce the duration of pain,improve the blood circulation of lower limbs,anxiety,and increase the skin temperature of the ABI,calf and toe.
