Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of TCM syndrome differentiation on the rehabilitation of patients who received arthroscopic surgery of meniscus.Methods Totally 83 patients who received arthroscopic surgery of meniscus in Qinhuangdao Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between April 2014 and October 2016 were randomly divided into a treatment group (n=44) and a control group (n=39). The patients in the both groups received nursing and rehabilitation training, while the patients in the treatment group took oral decoction prescribed based on TCM syndrome differentiation on the 2nd day. Their Lysholms score and VAS score were measured at the time of enrollment (day 1 after surgery) and 1 month after enrollment. Their knee function and pain level were also compared after the treatment.Results One month later, the Lysholms score of the patients in the treatment group was (89.93±7.20), higher than that of the patients in the control group, while their VAS score, (1.62±0.58), was lower than that of the patients in the control group (t=2.416, 11.410;P<0.05).Conclusions Good postoperative nursing and functional exercise, supplemented by TCM syndrome differentiation, can help patients to restore their joint activity and reduce pain, so that they can restore their joint function as soon as possible.
