电针配合隔药灸治疗颞下颌关节功能紊乱综合征疗效观察

Therapeutic Observation of Electroacupuncture plus Herbal-partitioned Moxibustion for Temporomandibular Joint Disorder

目的观察电针配合隔药灸治疗颞下颌关节功能紊乱综合征的临床疗效。方法将90例颞下颌关节功能紊乱综合征患者随机分为治疗组45例和对照组45例。治疗组采用电针配合隔药灸治疗,对照组采用药物治疗,两组在治疗3个疗程后由专人进行疗效评定。结果治疗组痊愈率为64.4%,总有效率为97.8%,对照组痊愈率为37.8%,总有效率为82.2%,治疗组总有效率及痊愈率均优于对照组(P<0.05);两组痊愈患者中疗程与疗效比较显示,治疗组在1个疗程、2个疗程及3个疗程结束后痊愈率均高于对照组(P<0.05),说明电针配合隔药灸能明显缩短治疗颞下颌关节功能紊乱综合征的疗程。治疗组疗效明显优于对照组,两组比较差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论电针配合隔药灸治疗颞下颌关节功能紊乱综合征疗效显著。

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture plus herbal-partitioned moxibustion in treating temporomandibular joint disorder. Method Ninety patients with temporomandibular joint disorder were randomized into a treatment group of 45 cases and a control group of 45 cases. The treatment group was intervened by electroacupuncture plus herbal-partitioned moxibustion, while the control group was by medication. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after 3 treatment courses by a specially-assigned person. Result The recovery rate and total effective rate were respectively 64.4% and 97.8% in the treatment group versus 37.8% and 82.2% in the control group, and the total effective rate and recovery rate in the treatment group were significantly higher than that in the control group（P0.05）; regarding the comparison of the efficacy and treatment duration of the recovered subjects, the recovery rates at the end of the 1st course, 2nd course and 3rd course in the treatment group were all markedly higher than that in the control group（P0.05）, indicating that electroacupuncture plus herbal-partitioned moxibustion can shorten the period of treatment for temporomandibular joint disorder. The therapeutic efficacy of the treatment group was significantly superior to that of the control group（P0.05）. Conclusion Electroacupuncture plus herbal-partitioned moxibustion can produce a significant efficacy in treating temporomandibular joint disorder.
