Effects of acupoint directed penetration of traditional Chinese medicine on clinical symptoms and ankle-brachial index of diabetic foot
Objective To observe the effect of acupoint directed penetration of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)on improving clinical symptoms and ankle-brachial index(ABI)of patients with diabetic foot.Methods 121 patients with diabetic foot admitted to the First People's Hospital of Shangqiu City from January 2021 to January 2023 were included in this study.The patients were divided into two groups by lot drawing,the combined group(n=70)and the control group(n=51).The control group were treated with conventional Western medicine,while the combination group were treated with acupoint directed penetration of TCM;symptom points with Western medicine.The therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared,and the correlation between ABI index and patient treatment effectiveness was analyzed.Results After treatment,the main and secondary syndrome scores,C-reactive protein(CRP)of the combined group were lower than those of the control group;insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1)and insulin-like growth factor 2(IGF-2)were both higher than those in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).The ABI index of the combination group after 3,7,and 14 of treatment was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).According to Spearman correlation coefficient test,ABI is negatively correlated with TCM main syndrome,TCM secondary syndrome score,and CRP level,while positively correlated with IGF-1 and IGF-2 levels.Conclusion Acupoint directed penetration of TCM can improve the clinical symptoms and ABI index of Diabetic foot
