Application effects of long snake moxibustion combined with core stable exercise training in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain
Objective:To observe application effects of long snake moxibustion combined with core stable exercise training in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain(CNLBP).Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 115 patients with CNLBP admitted to the department of sports medicine of the hospital from December 2020 to December 2022.They were divided into control group(57 cases)and study group(58 cases)by using the coin tossing method.The control group was treated with core stable exercise training,while the study group was treated with long snake moxibustion on the basis of that of the control group.The clinical efficacy,the lumbar range of motion,the pain degree[visual analogue scale(VAS)]score,and the laboratory indexes[cortisol(Cor),β-endorphin(β-EP)]levels were compared between the two groups before and after the treatment.Results:The total effective rate of treatment in the study group was 96.55%(56/58),which was higher than 84.21%(48/57)in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After the treatment,the range of motions of lumbar flexion,extension,left flexion,right flexion,left rotation and right rotation of the study group were greater than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After the treatment,the VAS scores of the two groups were lower than those before the treatment,that of the study group was lower than that of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Further,after the treatment,the level of Cor in the study group was lower than that in the control group,the level of β-EP was higher than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions:Long snake moxibustion combined with core stability exercise training for the CNLBP patients can improve the total effective rate of treatment and the lumbar range of motion,improve the levels of laboratory indexes,and reduce the pain scores.Moreover,it is superior to single core stable exercise training.
