The Effect of Stimulating Pain and Igniting Needle Therapy on Pain in Patients With Lower Back Myofasciitis
Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture combined with pain stimulating ignition needle therapy on pain and infrared imaging in patients with lower back myofascitis.Methods A total of 65 patients with lower back myofasciitis who were treated in the department of rehabilitation,Sanming Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Chinese Medicine from March 2021 to March 2023 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 32 cases in the control group and 33 cases in the observation group.The control group received routine acupuncture treatment,while the observation group received acupuncture combined with pain stimulating ignition needle therapy.After six weeks month of intervention,the pain score and lumbar function score of the two groups of patients were evaluated,and the infrared imaging results of the lower back were observed.Results The visual analog scale(VAS)score[(3.76±1.08)points vs.(5.28±1.55)points],Oswestry disability index(ODI)score[(13.76±3.42)points vs.(11.50±4.58)points],and average temperature of lower back infrared imaging[(30.21±3.03)℃vs.(33.31±3.16)℃]in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture combined with pain stimulation and ignition needle therapy can effectively alleviate pain in patients with lumbar myofasciitis and improve lumbar spine dysfunction.
