Abstract:
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of combining tuina and Chinese herbal fumigation for chronic ankle sprain.
Methods:A total of 93 cases were randomly allocated into an observation group (n=47) and a control group (n=46) according to the table of random number. Cases in the observation group received tuina combining with Chinese herbal fumigation, whereas cases in the control group received oral blood-circulating and pain-alleviating capsules combining with Chinese herbal fumigation. Both tuina and Chinese herbal fumigation were done once every other day and 10 times made up a course of treatment. The Baird-Jackson ankle scoring system and clinical efficacy were observed after 1 course of treatment.
Results:After treatment, except for radiographic findings, there were significant intra-group differences in individual item scores of Baird-Jackson (P<0.05,P<0.01); except for ankle joint range of motion (ROM), there were significant between- group differences in individual item scores and total score (P<0.01). The excellence and good rate was 76.6% in the observation group, versus 54.4% in the control group, showing a statistical significance (P<0.05).
Conclusion:Combining Chinese herbal fumigation and tuina based on the muscle region theory can obtain better effect than combining oral blood-circulating and pain-alleviating capsules and Chinese herbal fumigation for chronic ankle sprain.
