Those in the observation group practiced Yi Jin Jing(Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises) plus tuina therapy; whereas those in the control group received only tuina therapy. Tuina therapy was conducted every other day, 20 min every time for 1 month and Yi Jin Jing(Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises) was conducted once a day for 1 month. The therapeutic effects were assessed by visual analogue scale(VAS) and Constant-Murley scale.Results: After treatment, the VAS score and Constant-Murley scale were substantially improved, showing statistical significances(P〈0.01); the Constant-Murley scale in the observation group was better than that in the control group,showing a statistical significance(P〈0.01); the effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, between-group comparison showed a statistical significance(P〈0.01).Conclusion: Yi Jin Jing(Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises) plus tuina and tuina alone have a verified effect in treating SP,and the former can achieve a better effect than the later.展开更多

Methods: A total of 60 eligible cases were randomly allocated into a treatment group (n=30) and a control group (n=30) according to their sequence of consultation. Patients in the treatment group were treated with warm needling combined with acupoint sticking therapy, whereas patients in the control group were treated with oral Ibuprofen (Fenbid) capsules. After two menstrual cycles, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score, COX menstrual symptom scale (CMSS) and clinical efficacy were compared between the two groups. Results: After treatment, the VAS and CMSS scores were significantly reduced in both groups, indicating that both treatment protocols can remarkably alleviate pain. There was a between-group statistical difference in comparing the CMSS score (P〈0.05), but no between-group statistical difference in the VAS score (P〉0.05). However, the follow-up visit showed between-group statistical differences in comparing VOA and CMSS scores (both P〈0.01). The clinical effect, relapse rate and long-term efficacy in the treatment group were better than those in the control group. Conclusion: Warm needling plus acupoint sticking therapy is a simple but effective therapy for primary dysmenorrhea. In addition, it causes fewer cases with relapse.展开更多

Methods: Totally 80 subjects were recruited and divided into a treatment group and a control group by using the random number table, 40 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by the three-step modified shoulder joint mobilization; the control group was by oral administration of Celebrex. After successive 4-week treatment, the improvement of shoulder pain and motor function was observed. Results: The total effective rate was 87.5% in the treatment group versus 80.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P〈0.05). Conclusion: The three-step modified shoulder joint mobilization is easy-to-operate and effective in treating SP.展开更多

Treatment comprised of application of tobacco or placebo mouthwash(10 m L 3 times a day) for 5 days. Clinical evaluation included pain level using a visual analog scale and ulcer size on days 1, 3, and 5 were measured. Adverse effects after mouthwash application were recorded, and the oral mucosa was examined by the investigator at each visit.RESULTS: A total of 54 subjects with the mean age(38 ± 10) years fulfilled the study. No minor and major adverse effects were observed. In the treatment group, ulcer pain score was decreased by 79.2%and 93.8% and ulcer size was reduced by 69.1%and 92.2%(days 3 and 5, respectively), which was significantly greater than the control group(P <0.01).CONCLUSION: The decoction prepared with of Nicotiana tabacum leaves, used as mouthwash are well-tolerated and safe, and can be used for the management of recurrent aphthous.展开更多
