Application Research of TCM Acupoint Application Combined with Infrared light in Treatment of Diabetes Peripheral Neuropathy
Objective To explore effect of TCM acupoint application combined with infrared light in treatment of diabetes peripheral neuropathy(DPN).Methods The paper chose 180 patients with diabetes peripheral neuropathy in our hospital,and divided them into observation group and control group randomly.Both groups was treated with health education,diabetes diet,appropriate exercise and lipoic acid intravenous infusion and routine hypoglycemic drugs.Observation group was treated with local infrared light and TCM acupoint application on the basis.Clinical symptoms and severity of DPN were evaluated with Toronto Clinical Scores(TCSS),effect of vibration sensation threshold(VPT)and electromyography examination,incidence of neurological symptoms was observed and recorded.Results After treatment,both groups showed decrease in TCSS scores,those of observation group were lower than control group(P<0.05).Incidence of neuropathy in observation group was significantly lower than control group(P<0.05).Incidence rate of control group was 27.78%,that in observation group was 4.45%.Moreover,comparison of vibration sensation threshold(VPT)and effectiveness after electromyography examination showed,total effective rate of observation group(88.89%)was higher than control group(72.23%),(P<0.05).Conclusion Aacupoint application combined with infrared light can alleviate pains,reduce medical costs,and improve treatment level and efficiency of DPN patients.Moreover,the treatment scheme can reduce psychological burden of patients and their families,lower incidence of complications of diabetes,and improve life quality of patients,which is worthy of promotion and application in clinical practice.
