Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical effects of composite salvia injection (CSI) matched with western medicine (WM) in treating diabetic foot.
METHODSSeventy-two patients, whose diagnosis were confirmed to be diabetic foot, were randomly divided and equally distributed into the comprehensive CSI plus WM treated group and the WM control group, they were treated with the CSI and WM treatment and the conventional WM respectively. The therapeutic effect was evaluated in combining with data of electromyogram and hemorrheologic investigation.
RESULTSAll the indexes were improved to various extent after treatment in both groups, but there was more significant in the CSI group than in the WM group, shown as quickening of motor and sensory nerve conduction velocity of median nerve and lowering of blood viscosity, as compared with those before treatment, P < 0.01.
CONCLUSIONCSI matched with WM in treating diabetic foot is beneficial for resulting in better effect.
