Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of"hegu needling"combined with"joint needling"in the treatment of chronic lumbar muscle strain.Methods A total of 64 patients with chronic lumbar muscle strain were randomly divided into observation group and control group,32 cases in each group.The control group was treated with routine acupuncture,and the observation group was treated with"hegu needling"combined with"joint needling"on the basis of the control group.One week for a course of treatment,a total of two courses of treatment.After two weeks of treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated,and the changes of Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)of pain score and simplified Oswestry Dysfunction Index questionnaire(simplified ODI)score were observed before and after treatment.The changes of spinal mobility were compared before and after treatment between the two groups.Results(1)The total effective rate was 93.75%(30/32)in the observation group and 78.13%(25/32)in the control group.The curative effect of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(2)After treatment,the simplified ODI score and spinal activity score of the two groups were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving the simplified ODI score and spinal activity score,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).(3)After two weeks of treatment,the VAS scores of the two groups were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving the VAS score,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).After one month of treatment,there was no significant difference in VAS score of the observation group when compared with that after two weeks of treatment(P＞0.05).Conclusion"Hegu needling"combined with"joint needling"in the treatment of chronic lumbar muscle strain can significantly improve the patients'pain symptoms,enhance the patient's waist function,and improve the patients'spinal mobility.
