温针灸配合中药薰洗治疗足底筋膜炎疗效观察

Observations on the Efficacy of Warm Needling plus Chinese Herb Fumigation in Treating Plantar Fasciitis

目的观察温针灸配合中药薰洗治疗足底筋膜炎的临床疗效。方法将61例足底筋膜炎患者随机分为治疗组31例和对照组30例。治疗组采用温针灸配合中药薰洗治疗,对照组单纯采用温针灸治疗。结果治疗组总有效率和治愈率分别为100.0%和61.3%,对照组分别为96.7%和40.0%,两组总有效率比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),但是治疗组治愈率明显优于对照组,两组差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01)。两组治疗后VAS评分与治疗前比较差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01),提示两组均有较好的镇痛效果;治疗组治疗后VAS评分与对照组比较差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01),提示治疗组镇痛效果优于对照组。结论温针灸配合中药薰洗治疗足底筋膜炎疗效优于单纯温针灸治疗。

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of warm needling plus Chinese herb fumigation in treating plantar fasciitis. Method Sixty-one patients with plantar fasciitis were randomly allocated to a treatment group of 31 cases and a control group of 30 cases. The treatment group received warm needling plus Chinese herb fumigation and the control group, warm needling alone. Result The total efficacy rate and the cure rate were 100.0% and 61.3%, respectively, in the treatment group and 96.7% and 40.0%, respectively, in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in the total efficacy rate between the two groups（P0.05）, but the cure rate was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group and there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups（P0.05）. There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the VAS score in the two groups（P0.01）, indicating that both the groups had a good analgesic effect. There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in the VAS score between the treatment and control groups（P0.01）, indicating that the analgesic effect was better in the treatment group than in the control group. Conclusion The efficacy of warm needling plus Chinese herb fumigation is better than that of warm needling alone in treating plantar fasciitis.
