Effect of warm acupuncture and moxibustion combined with massage on chronic low back pain of cold dampness stasis syndrome and its influences on pain degree and motor function
Objective To explore the effect of warm acupuncture and moxibustion combined with massage on chronic low back pain of cold dampness stasis syndrome and its influences on pain degree and motor function.Methods A total of 90 patients with chronic low back pain of cold dampness stasis syndrome admitted from January 2020 to January 2023 were selected and divided into control group(45 cases,routine treatment)and observation group(45 cases,warm acupuncture and moxibustion combined with massage on the basis of routine treatment)by random number table method.The therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared.Results The total effective rate of treatment in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group,and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire(JOABPEQ)score was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the maximum flexion muscle strength and maximum extension muscle strength of lumbar isometric contraction in the observation group were larger than those in the control group,and the Oswestry Disability Index(ODI)score was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group,and the MOS 36-Item Short Form Health Survey(SF-36)score was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Warm acupuncture and moxibustion combined with massage in the treatment of patients with chronic low back pain of cold dampness stasis syndrome has obvious effect,which can reduce the degree of pain,improve motor function,enhance sleep quality and quality of life of patients.
