Therapeutic efficacy of meridian and tendon pricking plus medicinal pot combined with core stabilization training on postpartum backache of type of blood stasis
Objective It is to explore the effect of meridian and tendon pricking plus medicinal pot combined with core stabilization training in the treatment of postpartum backache of type of blood stasis.Methods Eighty patients with postpar-tum backache of type of blood stasis who visited the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of Xiaogan Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University of Science and Technology from September 2021 to September 2023 were selected and randomly divided into 40 cases in the control group and 40 cases in the observation group.The control group was treated with meridian and tendon pricking plus medicinal pot,firstly,the patients were marked by palpation,10 knot tendon lesion points were se-lected for pricking,and after that,they were treated with bamboo cans boiled with Chinese drugs for dispelling stasis and unblocking meridian for cupping,treated once every 4 days,totally treated for 6 times;the observation group was given core stabilization training on the basis of the treatment of the control group,training for 1 h per day and 5 days per week,continuously training for 3 weeks.The pain scores of numerical rating scale(NRS),scores of Oswestry Dysfunction Index(ODI),Finger Force Distance(FFD),trunk muscle endurance and pelvic floor surface electromyography(PFSEM)of patients in the two groups were compared before and after the treatment.Results The NRS scores,ODI scores and FFD of the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(all P<0.05),and the indexes of the observation group were obviously lower than those of the control group(all P<0.05).After treatment,the endurances of flexion/extension muscle group and bilateral lateral quadratus muscle group,the maximal value of the fast pelvic floor muscles and the aver-age value of the slow pelvic floor muscles of the observation group were significantly higher than those before treatment and of the control group(all P<0.05).The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group[92.5%(37/40)VS.82.5%(33/40),P<0.05].Conclusion Meridian and tendon pricking plus medic-inal pot combined with core stabilization training can significantly improve postpartum backache of type of blood stasis,im-prove the endurance of trunk muscle groups,promote the repair of pelvic floor muscles,and restore the lumbar function.
