新砭石疗法与普通针刺法治疗中老年慢性腰肌劳损的临床对比分析

Clinical Analysis of New Stone Needle Therapy and Conventional Acupuncture Therapy in Elderly Patients with Chronic Lumbar Muscle Strain

目的:观察新砭石疗法与普通针刺疗法对中老年慢性腰肌劳损的临床疗效。方法:以承德医学院附属医院于2014年1月至2016年1月收治的慢性腰肌劳损的中老年患者80例,应用数字随机化法分为观察组(砭石疗法组)和对照组(常规针灸组)各40例,观察组,每间隔5d进行1次治疗,连续治疗3次完成1个疗程,共3疗程;对照组,每天均进行治疗,治疗时间20min,连续5d完成1个疗程,共3个疗程。每个疗程完成后分别对2组的治疗效果进行对比分析。结果:在第2个疗程和第3个疗程结束后,观察组的VAS评分要明显低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),且总体疗效好于对照组。结论:新砭石疗法在对中老年慢性腰肌劳损的治疗中比普通针刺治疗效果更好。

Objective： To compare the clinical efficacy of new stone needle therapy and conventional acupuncture therapy on chronic lumbar muscle strain. Methods： 80 elderly patients with chronic lumbar muscle strain chosen from January 2014 to January 2016 in the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College were divided into observation group of 40 cases（ new stone needle） and control group of 40 cases（ acupuncture）according to the digital random method. The observation groups were treated once per 5 days,3 times as a period of treatment,3 courses of treatment in all. The control groups were treated 20 minutes for one time,once a day,5 days as a period of treatment,3 courses of treatment in all. After each course,the efficacy of two groups were compared and analyzed respectively. Results： The VAS score of the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,the curative effect was better than the control group after second,third course of treatment,and the difference was statistically significant（ 〈 0. 05 P）. Conclusion： The new stone needle therapy has more advantages than conventional acupuncture therapy for patients with chronic lumbar muscle strain.
