EFFICACY OF SEMICONDUCTOR LASER THERAPY COMBINED WITH ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT FOR ACUTE MASTITIS
Objective To observe the efficacy of semiconductor laser therapy combined with acupuncture treatment for acute mastitis.Methods A total of 80 patients with acute mastitis were equally and randomly divided into control group and treatment group.The control group was orally given cefaclor sustained-release tablets (0.375 g each time,twice a day for five days as a course of treatment) and received external application of golden Ruyi powder.The treatment group received semiconductor laser irradiation and acupuncture treatment (once a day for seven days as a course of treatment) in addition to oral antibiotics.The treatment outcome were compared between the two groups.Results Of the 40 patients in the treatment group,17 were cured,14 showed a marked response,8 showed a response,and 1 showed no response.Of the 40 patients in the control group,5 were cured,12 showed a marked response,14 showed a response,and 9 showed no response.There was a significant difference in treatment outcome between the two groups (x2 =14.74,P<0.05).Conclusion Semiconductor laser therapy combined with acupuncture treatment has significant efficacy in the treatment of acute mastitis.
