Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of paired needling plus tuina in treating small breast disease.MethodBy following the randomized controlled method, 60 patients with small breast disease were divided into a treatment group (intervened by paired needling plus tuina) of 30 cases and a control group (intervened by treatment device for mammary glands) of 30 cases, 15 sessions as a treatment course, for 2 courses in total. The chest circumference was used to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy.Result There was no significant inter-group difference in comparing the chest circumference after the first treatment course(P>0.05), while the difference was statistically significant after 2 treatment courses(P<0.05).ConclusionPaired needling plus seven-step tuina can produce a significant stable long-standing therapeutic efficacy in treating small breast disease.
