Objective To observe the clinical effect of Xuefu Zhuyu Recipe(血府逐瘀方)combined with ankle joint point squeeze adjustment technique and acupuncture on acute ankle sprain.Methods The clinical data of 90 patients with acute ankle sprain admitted from January 2022 to June 2023 was retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into two groups according to different treatment methods.The patients in the control group received conventional therapy,while those in the observation group received conventional therapy combined with Xuefu Zhuyu Recipe,ankle point compression adjustment manipulation and acupuncture.The clinical efficacy,swelling relief time and resting pain relief time,functional recovery time,the changes of TCM syndrome score and pain scale(VAS),the changes of ankle Kofoed score and ankle plantar flexor and dorsoextension motion,the levels of C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and adverse reactions were re-corded and compared.Results The curative effect of the observation group was better than that of the control group(P<0.05).Compared with those of the control group,the duration of swelling relief,resting pain relief and functional recovery in the observa-tion group were shorter(P<0.05).After treatment,the total scores of TCM symptoms,VAS score,ankle Kofoed score,ankle plantar flexion and dorsoextension motion,and the levels of inflammatory factors(CRP,IL-6,TNF-α)were improved in both groups.After treatment,the total scores of TCM symptoms,VAS score,ankle Kofoed score,ankle plantar flexion and dorsoexten-sion motion,inflammatory factor levels(CRP,IL-6,TNF-α)in the observation group were better than those in the control group(P<0.05).There was no adverse reaction in the control group,and 1 case of dry mouth in the observation group(P>0.05).Conclusion The patients with acute ankle sprain were treated with Xuefu Zhuyu Recipe(血府逐瘀方)combined with an-kle joint point squeeze adjustment technique and acupuncture,and the treatment effect was significant.The symptoms of patients were improved,the pain was relieved,the ankle function was recovered well and the recovery was fast.Adverse reactions were few,and it was safe and reliable.
