Effect of Periosteal Stretch Technique Combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Patients with Diabetic Foot
Objective:To analyze the effect of periosteal stretch technique combined with traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of patients with diabetic foot.Method:A total of 97 patients with diabetic foot who treated in Jian'ou Municipal Hospital from January 2021 to October 2023 were selected as the observation objects,the patients were divided into the control group(conventional ulcer plaster humidification and regeneration treatment,n=49)and the observation group(periosteal stretch technique combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment,n=48)according to the different treatment methods.The ulcer surface healing,ulcer size,ulcer depth,transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure,ankle brachial index,foot skin temperature,pain degree,neuropathy,quality of life were compared between two groups.Result:After treatment,the healing rate of ulcer surface,transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure,ankle brachial index,foot skin temperature and quality of life score in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,while the ulcer size,ulcer depth,visual analogue scale(VAS)score,Michigan neuropathy screening instrument(MNSI)score and 10 g nylon filament test score were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Compared with conventional ulcer plaster humidification and regeneration treatment,periosteal stretch technique combined with traditional Chinese medicine is more effective in the treatment of patients with diabetic foot,it can improve the healing rate of ulcer surface,reduce the ulcer area,promote local microcirculation,relieve pain,improve neuropathy and improve the quality of life.
