Abstract:
Objective To observe the effects of auricular point sticking on chronic soft tissue injury of knee joint caused by military training.Methods A total of 77 patients with chronic soft tissue injury of the knee caused by military training admitted to No.901 Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force from January to November 2022 were enrolled in this study.Auricular point sticking therapy was applied in all the patients.Visual analogue scale(VAS)score,the range of motion of the knees and knee temperature were recorded before and after treatment.Results The VAS score was 6.10±1.23,3.03±0.95,and 2.70±0.93 before treatment,15 min and 24 h after treatment,respectively.The VAS score after treatment were significantly lower than that before treatment(P<0.01).The range of motion of the knees was(79.08±11.59)°,(104.79±8.49)°,and(108.08±9.36)° before treatment,15 min and 24 h after treatment,respectively.The knee flexion after treatment were significantly higher than that before treatment(P<0.01).The knee temperature at 15 min after treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment([30.68±1.38]℃vs.[29.30±1.41]℃,P<0.01).Conclusion Auricular point sticking can reduce the pain of patients with chronic soft tissue injury of the knee and increase the range of joint motion.It is safe and simple and has good compliance.
