Efficacy Observation of the Bachuo Rounian Manipulation and Function Exercise on Treatment of External Humeral Epicondylitis
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of the Bachuo Rounian manipulation and function exercise on treat-ment of external humeral epicondylitis.Methods:64 patients with external humeral epicondylitis from September 2020 to September 2022 were included in the study,randomly assign 32 patients to the treatment group and the control group,the treatment group was treated by Bachuo Rounian manipulation combined with elbow joint functional exercise,while the control group was treated by Voltaalin ointment combined with elbow-guard and rest.The clinical efficacy,visual analogue scale(VAS)score,the number of elbow tenderness,Hospital for special surgery(HHS)score scale and HHS2 self-scoring scale were compared between the two groups after 4 weeks of continuous treatment.The follow-up efficacy was performed 1 month and 3 months after the end of treatment,the occurrence of adverse reactions in the whole process of the study was observed.Results:The last effective rate was 96.9%in the treatment group after 4 weeks of treatment,the last effective rate of control group was 78.1%,and the last effective rate of treatment group is 93.8%and 78.1%in the follow-up after 1 and 3 months.Compare with the last effec-tive rate of control group after 1 and 3 months is 71.9%and 53.1%,and the difference was statistically significant.Com-pared with the control group,the improvement of VAS score,trigger elbow pain value and HHS score in the treat-ment group was significant.No adverse reactions were found during the study period.Conclusion:The Bachuo Rounian manipulation combined with functional exercise on the treatment of external humeral epicondylitis has significant clinical efficacy,which can effectively reduce the probability of long-term recurrence of symptoms,effectively relieve the elbow pain symptoms of patients,improve the quality of life of patients,and good treatment safety.It can be recommended for clinical use.
