Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of"Five-Tiger Points"Acupuncture combined with Shaking-Traction-Thrusting Manipulation in treating acute ankle sprain.Methods A total of 142 patients diagnosed with acute ankle sprain at Guizhou Aerospace Hospital between January 2022 and March 2024 were enrolled.The patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table method,with 71 cases in each group.The control group received RICE(Rest,Ice,Compression,Elevation)protocol plus Shaking-Traction-Thrusting Manipulation every 2 days for 8 sessions.The observation group received additional daily"Five-Tiger Points"Acupuncture for 3 consecutive days.After two weeks,clinical efficacy was assessed by comparing visual analogue scale(VAS)pain scores,Kofoed ankle function scores,swelling degree,and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores between groups.Results(1)After treatment,both groups of patients showed significant improvements in pain VAS scores,ankle swelling severity,and TCM syndrome scores(P＜0.05).The observation group demonstrated significantly superior improvements compared to the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).(2)After treatment,both groups of patients showed significant improvements in Kofoed scores(P＜0.05).The observation group demonstrated significantly superior improvements compared to the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).(3)The overall efficacy rate was 90.14％(64/71)in the observation group and 69.01％(49/71)in the control group.The observation group demonstrated superior efficacy compared to the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion Combining"Five-Tiger Points"Acupuncture with Shaking-Traction-Thrusting Manipulation significantly alleviates pain,reduces swelling,and enhances ankle function in acute ankle sprain patients,demonstrating superior clinical efficacy.
