Abstract:
Objective? To explore the low frequency pulsed electrical stimulation on improving limbs pain among patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy so as to provide an effective clinical basis for treatment and nursing of those patients. Methods? From March 2017 to March 2018, we selected 75 diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients with limbs pain in Chinese Surgery, the Shangqiu First People＇s Hospital as subjects by convenience sampling. All of the patients were randomly divided into control group (n=38) and experimental group (n=37) with the random number table. Patients of control group received routine treatment and nursing. On the basis of routine treatment and nursing, patients of experimental group were given the low frequency pulsed electrical stimulation. Finally, we compared the pain condition and effects of pain therapy of patients between two groups. Results? Before intervention, there was no statistical difference in the pain of patients between two groups (P＞0.05). After intervention, the limbs pain of patients in experimental group was lower than that in control group with a statistical difference (P＜0.05);the effects of limbs pain of patients in experimental group was better than that in control group with a statistical difference (P＜ 0.05). Conclusions? Low frequency pulsed electrical stimulation in Sanyinjiao and Yongquan point can regulate arteries, veins and Qi-blood, dredge the channels and collateral to make Qi-blood unobstructed so as to play a role in relieving the limbs pain of diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients. It is worth to be widely used in clinical application.
