Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Stellate ganglion block is feasible for the patients in sub-health status,but it is invasive and the patient compliance is poor.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical effectiveness of ultrasound-induced transdermal drug delivery for reducing the hyperactivity of the cervical sympathetic ganglia in the sub-health status.METHODS:Sixty-nine participants in sub-health state from different age levels and professions were recruited and were randomly divided into treatment (n=31) and control (n=38) groups.The treatment group underwent ultrasound-induced transdermal drug delivery to the cervical sympathetic ganglia,while the control group received psychological counseling on sub-health education and behavior intervention.All patients were assessed with Sub-Health Measurement Scale Version1.0,and the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey prior to and post treatment,along with clinical curative effect assessment.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After treatment,29 participants in the treatment group were improved or recovered from sub-health,with an effective rate of 93.5％.Compared with the control group,the scores were significantly improved in the treatment group.To conclude,ultrasound-induced transdermal drug delivery to the stellate ganglion has a significant effect on sub-health state.
