Clinical study on the treatment of traumatic fracture of the lower limbs in the elderly with Thunder Fire Moxibustion combined with Parexib Sodium
Objective Observation of the effect of Thunder Fire Moxibustion combined with Parexib Sodium in the treatment of traumatic fractures of the lower limbs in the elderly.Methods This study is a prospective study,selecting 96 elderly patients with traumatic fractures of the lower limbs who were admitted between January 2021 and March 2023 as the study subjects.They were randomly divided into a conventional group(48 cases)and an experimental group(48 cases)using computer randomization.The conventional group received conventional treatment and Paroxyxib sodium treatment,while the experimental group received lightning fire moxibustion combined with treatment.All patients were followed up for 6 months after treatment to compare the symptom scores of the two groups of patients,Inflammatory cells,lower limb hemorheology,relief of lower limb pain and swelling,and recovery of lower limb function.Results Under different treatment plans,the scores of pain,swelling,and ecchymosis in the experimental group were(1.9±0.5)points,(1.8±0.6)points,and(1.8±0.5)points,lower than the conventional group[(2.3±0.8)points,(2.5±0.8)points,and(2.4±0.8)points].The white blood cell(WBC)and neutrophil(NE)of the experimental group were(8.7±1.3)×109/L,(7.5±1.8)×109/L,lower than the conventional group[(10.3±2.3)]×109/L,(8.6±1.8)×109/L.The high shear viscosity of lower limb whole blood,and low shear viscosity of lower limb whole blood in the experimental group were(7.4±1.3)mPa.s,and(6.4±1.3)mPa·s,lower than the control group[(8.4±1.9)mPa·s,and(7.5±1.9)mPa.s].The visual analogue scale(VAS)scores of the experimental group after 3 and 7 days of treatment were(3.66±0.27)points and(2.63±0.28)points,lower than the conventional group[(4.22±1.37)points and(3.53±0.85)points].The lower limb swelling scores were(2.02±0.37)points and(1.44±0.25)points,lower than the conventional group[(2.66±0.83)points and(2.19±0.85)points];At the first,third,and sixth month of follow-up,the lower limb function scores(LEFS)of the experimental group at 1,3,and 6 months of follow-up were(60±10)points,(68±10)points,and(75±10)points,respectively,which were higher than those of the control group[(55.44±10.25)points,(63±10)points,and(69±10)points],and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of Thunder Fire Moxibustion and Parexib Sodium can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of elderly patients with lower limb traumatic fractures,alleviate lower limb inflammatory reactions,promote hemorheological recovery,alleviate lower limb pain and swelling,and improve lower limb motor function.
