Research on the Therapeutic Effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine Foot Fumigation Combined with Acupoint Injection for Peripheral Neuropathy in Type 2 Diabetes
Objective To analyze the curative effect of foot fumigation combined with acupoint injection of traditional Chinese medicine on type 2 diabetes peripheral neuropathy.Methods The clinical data of 254 patients with type 2 diabetic peripheral neuropathy admitted to Yunyang District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2022 to June 2023 were retrospectively selected.According to different treatment methods,they were divided into con-trol group and observation group,127 cases in each group.The patients in the control group were treated with routine treatment,and the patients in the observation group were treated with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)fumigation combined with acupoint injection.The results of electromyography(conduction velocity of peroneal nerve and tibial nerve),TCM syndrome scores and Toronto scores before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results Before treatment,there was no significant difference in the results of electromyography between the two groups(both P>0.05).After treatment,the conduction velocity of peroneal nerve and tibial nerve in the observation group was faster than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(both P<0.05).Before treatment were no significant difference in the TCM syndrome score and Toronto score between the two groups(both P>0.05).After treatment,the TCM syndrome score and Toronto score of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(both P<0.05).Conclusion The treat-ment of type 2 diabetes peripheral neuropathy with foot fumigation combined with acupoint injection has a better thera-peutic effect on optimizing the patient's nerve conduction velocity and reducing the symptom score.
