超声弹性成像技术在手法推拿治疗小儿先天性肌斜颈中的应用价值

Application of ultrasonic elastography in massage therapy for the children with congenital muscular torticollis

目的:探讨超声弹性成像技术对手法推拿治疗小儿先天性肌斜颈疗效评价的应用价值。方法:分析33例进行手法推拿的先天性肌斜颈患儿的临床资料,利用超声弹性成像技术评估治疗前后病变胸锁乳突肌的硬度变化。结果:手法推拿前后,患儿病变肌肉超声弹性成像弹性评级变化差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:超声弹性成像技术可以对手法推拿治疗小儿先天性肌斜颈的疗效进行量化评估。

Objective： To investigate the value of ultrasonic elastography in massage therapy for the children with congenital muscular torticollis（CMT）. Methods： Thirty-three children with CMT were treated by massage therapy and ultrasound elasticity imaging technology was used to evaluated the hardness changes of sternocleidomastoid before and after massage therapy. Results： Before and after massage therapy, elastic rate of lesion muscles in ultrasonic elastography were significantly different （ P 〈 0.05 ）. Conclusion： The ultrasound elasticity imaging technology can be used to quantify clinical efficacy of massage therapy for CMT.
