艾灸在改善甲状腺手术体位综合征中的应用

Application of Moxa-wool moxibustion for patients with posture syndrome of the thyroid surgery

目的探讨艾灸在改善甲状腺手术体位综合征中的应用效果。方法甲状腺术后发生体位综合征患者133例分成对照组62例和观察组71例。对照组采用常规护理方法,观察组在对照组基础上增加艾灸操作。采用数字疼痛评分法(NPRS)评价2组患者颈肩部疼痛和头痛程度,对比2组体位综合征症状缓解情况。结果实施干预后第3天,观察组患者NPRS评分改善幅度优于对照组患者(P<0.05),症状缓解患者比例观察组高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论艾灸操作能有效改善甲状腺术后体位综合征相关症状。

Objective To investigate the effect of Moxa-wool moxibustion for patients with posture syndrome of thyroidsurgery.MethodsAtotalof133patientwittiposturesyndromeaf-ter thyroid surgery were assi^gned to the control group(n=62)and the observation group(n=71).Bothtwogroups received routinenursing care,andtheMoxa-woolmoxibustionwasappliedin theobservationgroupadditionally.Symptomsincludingpainonshoulderandneckwere as-sessed by numerical pain rating scale(NPRS).The time of the position syndrome relieved was compared between two groups.Results After three days’intervention,patients in the observa-tion group had lower NPRS score(P<0.05).The proportion of patients with symptom alleviated were higher in the observation group and that of controls(P<0.05).Conclusion Moxa-moxi-bustion can effectively relieve the related symptoms of position syndrome after the thyroid surgery.
