Effect of pestle needle combined with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation on patients with qi stagnation and blood stasis type of lumbocrural pain and arthralgia
Objective To investigate the effect of pestle needle combined with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation on patients with qi stagnation and blood stasis type of lumbocrural pain and arthralgia.Methods A total of 106 patients with qi stagnation and blood stasis type of lumbocrural pain and arthralgia admitted to Suzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from May 2020 to June 2022 were included as the research subjects.They were randomly divided into an observation group(53 cases)and a control group(53 cases)by simple randomization method.Both groups were treated with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation,while the observation group received additional treatment with pestle needles for 3 weeks.The changes of TCM symptom scores,Modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association(M-JOA)scores,and Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)scores were compared between the two groups,and the treatment effect of the two groups was analyzed.Results The TCM symptom scores,M-JOA scores and VAS scores of the two groups after 1 week,2 weeks and 3 weeks of treatment were lower than those before treatment(all P＜0.05).The TCM symptom score,M-JOA score and VAS score of the observation group after 1 week,2 weeks and 3 weeks of treatment were lower than those of the control group during the same period(all P＜0.05).After 3 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was 94.34％,which was significantly higher than that of the control group(81.13％,P＜0.05).Conclusion On the basis of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation,the combined use of pestle needles for the treatment of qi stagnation and blood stasis type of lumbocrural pain and arthralgia can not only alleviate the symptoms and degree of pain of patients,improve the function of waist and leg,but also enhance the clinical efficacy.
