We performed a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of acupuncture-movement therapy versus conventional acupuncture in the treatment of acute lumbar sprain.METHODS: Sixty patients were randomized into four groups: the acupuncture-movement(AM)group, sham acupuncture-movement(SAM) group,conventional acupuncture(CA) group, and physical therapy(PT) group. Patients in the AM group were treated with acupuncture at Yintang(EX-HN 3) and exercise of the lumbar region during acupuncture.Patients in the SAM group were treated with sham acupuncture at Yintang(EX-HN 3) and exercise of the lumbar region during sham acupuncture. Conventional acupuncture was performed in the CA group, and physical therapy was applied in the PT group. Each treatment lasted for 20 min. Patients were assessed before and after treatment using a visual analogue scale(VAS) and the Roland Morris Questionnaire(RMQ).RESULTS: The VAS and RMQ scores in the AM group were significantly lower after than before treatment(P < 0.01). The AM group reported lower RMQ scores in after-treatment and 24 h after treatment and lower VAS score in 24 h after treatment in comparison with those of the CA, SAM, and PT groups(P < 0.05).CONCULSION: Acupuncture-movement therapy is effective for treating acute lumbar sprain with a persistent pain-relief and remarkable improvement of lumbar activity. Movement, that is, lumbar exercise during acupuncture, enhances the effect of acupuncture.展开更多

Methods: A total of 212 patients with acute lumbar sprain were randomized into two groups. There were 106 subjects in the observation group who were treated with puncturing Houxi (SI 3) toward Hegu (LI 4) plus lumbar movement; the other 106 patients in the control group were treated with puncturing Houxi (SI 3) toward Hegu (LI 4) alone. Therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after 2 treatment courses. Results: The total effective rate was 95.3% in the observation group versus 88.7% in the control group, and the difference was statistically insignificant between the two groups (P>0.05). However, in comparing the treatment times for achieving recovery and effectiveness, differences between the two groups were statistically significant (both P<0.05), indicating that integrated use of acupuncture and exercise is faster in realizing therapeutic effectiveness. Conclusion: By selecting fewer acupoints, puncturing Houxi (SI 3) toward Hegu (LI 4) is effective in treating acute lumbar sprain, and with the help of lumbar movement, it can achieve even better treatment effect.展开更多
