电热砭石温熨疗法联合手法推拿用于项背肌筋膜炎患者的效果

Effectiveness of Bian stone thermal therapy combined with manual massage in patients with dorsonuchal myofascitis

目的探讨电热砭石温熨疗法联合手法推拿对项背肌筋膜炎患者的肌肉硬度、上肢活动度及疼痛的影响。方法将80例项背肌筋膜炎患者随机分为对照组与治疗组各40组。对照组给予手法推拿治疗,治疗组给予手法推拿联合电热砭石温熨疗法,均治疗2周。治疗前后评价两组肌肉硬度、肩关节活动度及疼痛程度。结果治疗2周后,治疗组肌肉硬度、疼痛评分显著低于对照组,肢体活动度8项中6项显著优于对照组(均P<0.05)。结论电热砭石温熨疗法联合手法推拿治疗可明显改善项背肌筋膜炎患者肌肉硬度及关节功能,减轻疼痛。

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of Bian stone(stone needle)thermal ironing therapy combined with manual massage on muscle stiffness,upper-limb range of motion and pain in patients with dorsonuchal myofascitis.Methods Eighty patients with dorsonuchal myofascitis were randomized into two groups,with 40 in each group.The control group was given conventional manual massage treatment,while the treatment group additionally received Bian stone thermal ironing therapy.Both groups were treated for 2 weeks.Muscle stiffness,shoulder range of motion and pain were evaluated before and after the treatment.Results After 2 weeks of treatment,the muscle stiffness and pain score in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group(both P<0.05).In 6 out of 8 measures of upper-limb range of motion,the treatment group performed significantly better than the control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion The combination use of Bian stone thermal ironing therapy and massage in patients with dorsonuchal myofascitis can ameliorate their muscle stiffness and pain,and enhance joint function.
