Abstract:
ObejectiveTo evaluate the efficacyofacupointthread embedding in easing painafterMilligan-Morgan(M-M)for mixed hemorrhoids.MethodSixty patients undergone M-M for mixed hemorrhoids were randomized into a treatment group of 30 cases and a control group of 30 cases. After M-M, patients in the treatment group received thread embedding at Changqiang (GV1) and bilateral Zhibian (BL54), while the control groupdidn’treceive any intervention. The onset time of post-operative pain, average pain index within a week, and pain index after defecation, electromyogram (EMG), change of anal canal pressure, patients’ satisfaction, and adverse-event rate were observed.ResultThe average pain index and pain index after defecation in the treatment group were significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), and the onset of pain in the treatment group was significantly later than that in the control group (P<0.01); after surgery, the anal canal resting pressure in the treatment group was markedly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); there wasno significant difference in comparing the squeeze pressure of anal canal between the two groups (P>0.05). According to the motor unit potential (MUP) analysis, there were significant differences in comparing the amplitude (Ampl) and Ar/Am of the restingphase between the two groups (P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in comparingthe Ampl, Area, Ar/Am, and Freq of the contraction phase between the two groups (P>0.05). There were significant differences in comparing the patients’satisfaction, adverse-event rate, and use of analgesics between the two groups (P<0.05). ConclusionAcupoint thread embedding can produce a content analgesic effect, and it’s safe and reliable.
