目的研究针刺联合悬吊运动治疗非特异性下腰痛(nonspecific low back pain,NLBP)的临床效果。方法采用随机数字表法,将2020年3月至2023年1月在湖南中医药大学第一附属医院针灸推拿康复科进行治疗的60例NLBP患者分为观察组、对照组,各30...目的研究针刺联合悬吊运动治疗非特异性下腰痛(nonspecific low back pain,NLBP)的临床效果。方法采用随机数字表法,将2020年3月至2023年1月在湖南中医药大学第一附属医院针灸推拿康复科进行治疗的60例NLBP患者分为观察组、对照组,各30例。两组患者在常规处理的基础上,对照组采用针刺治疗,观察组采用针刺联合悬吊运动治疗,均治疗4周。观察两组患者疼痛视觉模拟评分(visual analogue scale,VAS)、功能障碍问卷(roland morris disability questionnaire,RMDQ)、中医症候积分、肌肉紧张度、生物力学特征、生活质量综合评定问卷(generic quality of life inventory 74,GQOL-74)、生活活动能力(Barthel指数)及疗效。结果治疗后,两组患者VAS、RMDQ评分、中医症候积分、两侧竖脊肌、多裂肌紧张度及腰背屈/伸比值(flexion/extension,F/E)均较治疗前下降(P<0.05),且观察组上述指标均低于对照组(P<0.05);治疗后,两组患者腰背伸状态下峰力矩(peak torque,PT)、平均功率(average power,AP)、GQOL-74及Barthel评分较治疗前升高(P<0.05),且观察组上述指标均高于对照组(P<0.05);经过治疗后,观察组总有效率(93.33%)高于对照组的(73.33%)(P<0.05)。结论单纯针刺和针刺联合悬吊运动在治疗NLBP上均有一定的疗效,可有效缓解患者疼痛,改善竖脊肌、多裂肌主动活动功能,提高生活质量,且针刺结合悬吊运动疗效优于单纯针刺治疗,值得临床推广应用。展开更多
