All patients in the TCSOM group were treated with a maximum of 10 spinal manipulations and rehabilitation training of quadriceps femoris. The symptoms before and after treatment were assessed with visual analog scale(VAS) and Kujala functional knee scoring system(KFKSS). A symptom improvement rate(SIR) was implemented in order to evaluate the effects of the treatments.RESULTS: The symptoms of 16 patients in the TC-SOM group quickly resolved after the first spinal manipulation and 8 cases were significantly improved. The VAS scores in the TCSOM group after 4weeks of treatment were significantly lower than those in the Celecoxib group. The KFKSS scores in the TCSOM group after 4 weeks of treatment were significantly higher than those in the Celecoxib group. Side effects of the treatment were not reported. Symptom improvement rate based on the VAS in the TCSOM group indicated more significant improvements than the Celecoxib group.CONCLUSION: TCSOM has greater efficacy than Celecoxib capsules for relief of the symptoms of CP.展开更多

The results demonstrated that the quality of reconstructed signal can be greatly improved, with the removal of the baseline wander(adaptive trend) and the Gaussian distributed random noise. By detecting the turn signals in the artifact-free signal, the pathological segments related to chondrom alacia patellae can be effectively localized with the beginning and ending points of the span of turn signals.展开更多

文摘目的探讨肌内效贴联合经筋疗法治疗髌骨软化症的临床效果。方法选取2019-06至2021-12在武警福建总队医院就诊的髌骨软化症患者90例,随机分为肌贴组、经筋组和联合组,在治疗前,治疗后1 d、1周、2周和4周时对各组患者进行疗效评定。肌贴组按照髌股关节周围足阳明经筋、足少阳经筋、足太阴经筋、足厥阴经筋循行路线进行贴扎;经筋组采用对髌股关节周围足阳明经筋、足少阳经筋、足太阴经筋、足厥阴经筋循行路线上的穴位“病灶”依次进行手法放松疏理治疗;联合组采用肌贴组和经筋组联合治疗。最终疗效采用疼痛程度视觉模拟评分法(VAS)、Kujala髌股关节评分(KPST)、Lysholm膝关节评分(LKSS)的改善情况和Y平衡测试(YBT)进行评定。结果治疗后1 d,联合组VAS评分和YBT较肌贴组和经筋组改善更显著(P<0.05)。治疗后1周,联合组VAS、LKSS评分和YBT较肌贴组和经筋组改善更显著(P<0.05)。治疗后2周和4周,联合组VAS、LKSS、KPST评分和YBT较肌贴组和经筋组改善更显著(P<0.05)。组内比较中,治疗后1 d VAS较治疗前有显著改善(P<0.05),治疗后1周、2周和4周VAS、LKSS、KPST和YBT评分均较治疗前有显著改善(P<0.05)。结论肌贴联合经筋疗法技术对髌骨软化症患者的疼痛和膝关节功能的短期效果优于单独应用肌贴或经筋疗法技术。
