Effects of TCM massage combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation on postpartum diastasis recti abdominis
Objective:To observe effects of TCM massage combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation on postpartum diastasis recti abdominis.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 60 patients with postpartum diastasis recti abdominis admitted to the hospital from January 2021 to January 2022.According to the random number table method,they were divided into study group and control group,30 cases in each group.The control group was treated with neuromuscular electrical stimulation,while the study group was treated with TCM massage on the basis of that of the control group.The distance between rectus abdominis,the abdominal circumference,the Oswestry dysfunction index(ODI)score,and the TCM syndrome score were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention.Results:After the treatment,the separation distance of rectus abdominis and abdominal circumference in the two groups were smaller than those before the treatment,that in the study group was smaller than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The ODI scores of the two groups were lower than those before the treatment,that in the study group was lower than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Further,the TCM syndrome scores of the two groups were lower than those before the treatment,that in the study group was lower than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions:TCM massage combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation in the treatment of postpartum diastasis recti abdominis can reduce the separation distance of rectus abdominis and the abdominal circumference,and reduce the ODI scores and the TCM syndrome scores.Moreover,it is superior to single neuromuscular electrical stimulation.
