针刺治疗髌股疼痛综合征临床研究进展

Clinical Research Progress in Acupuncture Treatment for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

髌股疼痛综合征(PFPS)是导致髌股关节功能障碍的主要疾病之一,严重影响患者的生活质量。PFPS可归属中医学“膝痹”“筋痹”等范畴,针刺治疗效果显著。本文围绕毫针刺、温针灸、火针、针刀、电针等针刺疗法梳理近年针刺治疗PFPS临床研究,探讨不同疗法的临床效果和适用范围。研究结果表明,针刺可有效改善PFPS症状和功能,通过调节中枢神经系统功能、促进炎症因子吸收和关节腔积液清除、改善局部血液循环等机制发挥作用,可为临床治疗PFPS提供参考。

Patellofemoral pain syndrome(PFPS)is one of the main diseases leading to patellofemoral joint dysfunction,which seriously affects the quality of life of patients.This disease is classified as“knee impediment”and“tendon impediment”in TCM,and acupuncture treatment has a significant effect on this disease.This article combed the clinical studies on acupuncture treatment of PFPS in recent years around filiform needling,warm acupuncture and moxibustion,fire needle,needle knife,electro-acupuncture and other acupuncture treatments,and discussed the clinical effects and application scope of different treatments.Studies have shown that acupuncture therapy can effectively improve the symptoms and function of PFPS through a variety of mechanisms,such as regulating the function of the central nervous system,promoting the absorption of inflammatory factors and the clearance of joint effusion,and improving local blood circulation.These findings provide an important reference for the clinical treatment of PFPS.
