Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical curative effect of traditional Chinese medical massage for the treatment of congenital muscular torticollis in the infants with real-time tissue elastography technology, and to explore the clinical application value of real-time tissue elastography. Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in 120 infants with clinical diagnosis of congenital muscular torticollis. All of the infants were treated with traditional Chinese medical massage once a day, 10 times for a course of treatment, and the treatment lasted 18 courses. The differences of image of the injured sternomastoid muscle were observed before and after treatment by real-time tissue elastography. Results Before massage therapy, the differences between the image scores of injured sternomastoid muscle and those of the healthy sternomastoid muscle were significant ( P<0.01), and the sensitivity of real-time tissue elastography for the diagnosis of congenital muscular torticollis was 93.3% . After massage therapy, the mass of injured sternomastoid muscle was reduced, and the myogenic torticollis was improved, the image scores of injured sternomastoid muscle were similar to those of the healthy sternomastoid muscle ( P>0.05) . The differences of the image scores of injured sternomastoid muscle were sternomastoid muscle ( P> 0.05) . The differences of the image scores of injured sternomastoid muscle were significant before and after therapy ( P<0.01) Conclusion Traditional Chinese medical massage has certain therapeutic effect for the treatment of congenital muscular torticollis in the infants, and real-time tissue elastography technology can reflect the changes of muscle tissue directly and noninvasively, which will provide objective basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of congenital muscular torticollis in the infants.
