Therapeutic effect of biofeedback electrical stimulation combined with traditional Chinese medicine rubbing in the treatment of vulvar lichen sclerosus
Objective To explore the clinical effect of biofeedback electrical stimulation combined with traditional Chinese medicine rubbing in the treatment of vulvar lichen sclerosus(VLS).Methods A total of 60 patients with VLS admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Affiliated Hospital of Gansu University of Chinese Medicine from January to December 2022 were selected for the study,and they were randomly divided into 30 cases each in the control group and the observation group according to the order of patient admission.The control group was treated with traditional Chinese medicine rubbing and the observa-tion group was treated with biofeedback electrical stimulation combined with traditional Chinese medicine rub-bing.The degree of vulvar itching,skin color,skin elasticity symptom and sign score and clinical efficacy of the two groups before and after treatment were compared.Results After treatment,the degree of vulval pruritus[(0.77±0.50)points],skin color[(1.03±0.56)points],skin elasticity[(0.60±0.56)points]symptoms and signs score in the observation group were lower than those in the control group[(1.17±0.59),(1.47± 0.78),(1.17±0.75)points,respectively],the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The total effective rate after treatment in the observation group[96.7%(29/30)]was higher than that in the control group[83.3%(25/30)],the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Biofeedback elec-trical stimulation combined with traditional Chinese medicine rubbing for the treatment of VLS has significant efficacy,can significantly improve clinical symptoms,and the therapeutic effect is better than that of tradition-al Chinese medicine rubbing alone.
