Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Jinshang Gel in the treatment of acute ankle sprain(AAS).Methods Sixty patients with AAS admitted to the tendon injury,foot and ankle departments of the hospital from January to June 2022 were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group by the random number table method,with 30 cases in each group.Etofenamate Gel and Jinshang Gel were applied to the affected areas of patients in the control group and the observation group respectively three times a day for 6 d.Results The total effective rate in the observation group was 96.67%,which was slightly higher than 93.33%in the control group(P>0.05).Compared with those before treatment,the visual analogue scale(VAS)scores in the two groups were significantly lower on the 3rd and 6th days after treatment,the ankle swelling significantly relieved,the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society(AOFAS)scale scores were significantly higher(P<0.05),and the above indexes in the observation group were significantly better(P<0.05).Conclusion Jinshang Gel can effectively relieve ankle pain and swelling of patients with AAS,and improve their ankle function.
