Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of the lateral needling technique combined with thunder-fire moxibustion in the treatment of the third lumbar trans-verse process syndrome(TLVTPS).Methods A total of 60 patients with definitive diagnosis of third TLVTPS admitted to the Department of Special Services and Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the General Hospital of Southern Theatre Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army of China from June 2022 to February 2024 were selected as the study subjects.The patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group according to the random number table method,with 30 cases in each group.The control group was treated with electroacupuncture combined with red light local irradiation,and the observation group was treated with lateral needling technique combined with thunder-fire moxibustion.The patients were treated once every other day,and 10 times of treatment constituted a course of treatment,totaling two courses of treatment.After treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated,and the changes in the Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)scores of pain,and Japanese Orthopedic Association(JOA)scores before and after treatment were observed between the two groups.The changes in Oswestry Disability Index(ODI)scores before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results(1)After treatment,the VAS scores of the two groups of patients were improved significantly(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(2)After treatment,the JOA score and ODI score of patients in the two groups were improved significantly(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(3)The total effective rate was 93.33%(28/30)in the observation group and 83.33%(25/30)in the control group.The efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Lateral needling technique combined with thunder-fire moxibustion in the treatment of TLVTPS can significantly alleviate pain of the patients and enhance their mobility of the lumbar,so as to improve the quality of life of the patients.
