Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical curative effect of“Qing Dynasty Palace manipulation” in combination with plaster immobilization and foot bath with traditional Chinese medicine for acute soft tissue sprain of the ankle.Method A total of 90 patients with acute soft tissue sprain of the ankle from emergency department of WangJing Hospital, CACMS were recruited from July 2013 to April 2014 and randomly divided into two groups with 45 patients in each. The patients in the treatment group were treated with the court manipulation, plaster and Chinese herbs washing, and those in the control group were only treated with cast immobilization. The clinical curative effect was evaluated using Baird-Jackson score system(excellent: 96-100; good: 91-95; fair: 81-90; poor: 0-80).Result At the second, third week after treatment, the excellent/good rates in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group(at week 2: 73.3%vs. 44.4%;χ2=11.468,P<0.01; at week 3: 86.7%vs.60.0%;χ2=6.875,P<0.05). At week 2 and 3, Baird-Jackson scores in the treatment group(87.41±14.12, 93.16±9.51)and in the control group(76.32±11.41, 82.54±9.22)were significantly higher than those before treatment(treatment group: 72.11±12.61; control group: 71.67±13.12, allP<0.05); at week 3, Baird-Jackson score in the treatment group were significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion“Qing Dynasty Palace manipulation” in combination with plaster immobilization and foot bath with traditional Chinese medicine can increase Baird-Jackson score and aid recovery of the ankle function in patients with acute soft tissue sprain of the ankle.
