Meta-analysis of Clinical Efficacy of Warm Needling Acupuncture in the Treatment of Lumbar Disc Herniation

[Objectives]To evaluate the efficacy of warm needling acupuncture in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation(LDH)by Meta-analysis.[Methods]Randomized controlled trial of warm needling acupuncture in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation published from January 2000 to December 2021 was searched by Cochrane Library,PubMed,VIP,CNKI and Wanfang.After the quality evaluation of the literature,the Meta-analysis of the literature was carried out by using Review Manager 5.3.[Results]A total of 10 studies were included,involving a total of 980 patients.The results of Meta-analysis showed that warm needling acupuncture in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation could improve the total clinical effective rate,OR=5.38,95%CI(3.40,8.49),P<0.00001;decrease the VAS score,MD=-3.33,95%CI[-4.53,-2.12],z=5.42(P<0.00001);increase the JOA score,MD=-5.63,95%CI[-8.12,-3.14];improve the dysfunction,MD=-5.63,95%CI[-8.12,-3.14],z=4.43(P<0.00001);decrease inflammatory factors,MD=-11.09,95%CI[-13.60,-8.58],z=8.65(P<0.00001).And the recurrence rate was low,OR=0.33,95%CI[0.15,0.70],z=2.86(P=0.004).[Conclusions]Warm needling acupuncture could effectively treat lumbar disc herniation and relieve pain symptoms.However,due to the general poorness of literature quality and the low quality of evidence,high-quality randomized controlled trials are still needed.

Clinical Observation of Warm Needling Acupuncture of Mongolian Medicine in the Treatment of Lumbar Disc Herniation

[Objectives]To observe the clinical efficacy of warm needling acupuncture of Mongolian medicine in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation(LDH).[Methods]120 patients with lumbar disc herniation hospitalized in Inner Mongolia International Mongolian Hospital from June 2019 to June 2022 were randomly divided into observation group(n=60)and control group(n=60).The observation group was treated with warm needling acupuncture of Mongolian medicine,and the control group was treated with common acupuncture of Mongolian medicine,with two weeks as a course of treatment.The pain visual analogue scale(VAS)and Japanese orthopaedic association(JOA)score were observed before and after treatment,and the clinical efficacy was evaluated by the changes of clinical symptoms and signs of Mongolian medicine.[Results]The cure rate of the observation group was 71.7%,which was better than that of the control group(53.3%).The difference in the cure rate between the two groups was statistically significant,X 2=4.302,P=0.038.The total markedly effective rate(cured+markedly effective)of the observation group was 90.0%,while that of the control group was 83.3%.There was no significant difference in the total markedly effective rate between the two groups,X 2=1.154,P=0.283.The total effective rate(cured+markedly effective+effective)of the observation group was 100%,while that of the control group was 95.0%.There was no significant difference in the total effective rate between the two groups,and the continuous corrected chi-square value was 1.368 and 0.242.After treatment,the degree of low back pain,lower limb pain and dyskinesia were significantly improved in the two groups,the observation group was better than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).[Conclusions]The warm needling acupuncture of Mongolian medicine was effective in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation,which is worth popularizing.

WARM NEEDLING FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND METAANALYSIS

The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of warm needle treatment of osteoarthritis.Fourteen databases were searched from their inception through April 2015.Randomized clinical trials(RCTs)were included if a warm needle was used either as the sole treatment or as a part of a combination therapy for osteoarthritis.Risk of bias was assessed according to the Cochrane criteria.Of the articles that were identified

透灸法成功治疗产后子宫复旧不良:两则病例报告及机制分析

This article introduced the application of penetration moxibustion in successfully treating two cases of postpartum subinvolution of uterus.The main complaint of one case was increasing volume of abnormal vaginal bleeding for five days after delivery.The bleeding stopped after the patient received 7 times treatment of warming needle and penetration moxibustion on Zhongji(CV3),Guanyuan(CV4)and Qihai(CV6).The other case complained about persistent abdominal pain for 15 days,which was worsening for the recent 2 days.The symptom of abdominal pain was relieved after the penetration moxibustion was applied on CV4,CV6 and Zigong(EX-CA1)for 5 times for the case.Penetration moxibustion can relieve abdominal pain during the postpartum period,accelerate lochia discharge,and recovery of menstrual and uterine cavity.Artemisiae Argyi Folium was proved to have antibacterial,hemostatic,and analgesic effects.The warming function and radiation features of moxibustion can help to alleviate spasm of the smooth muscle in the uterus and enhance the metabolism of the uterine tissue by expanding microvessels and improving the circulations of both blood and lymph.It can also activate cells in the uterine tissue by increased temperature in order to enhance the decomposition and elimination of pathological wastes,such as inflammation and hematoma.In addition,it can also relieve pelvic pain by inhibiting neuronal excitability.

不同针法分期治疗肩关节周围炎90例

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of different acupuncture modalities in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis a tthrough different clinical stages.Methods:Ninety patients of adhesive capsulitis weregraded in three different stages based on clinical presentations.Patients in painful stage were treated with silver needles once every 5 to 7 days for two courses;patients in adhesive stage were given acupotomy treatment every 7 to 10 days for two courses;while patients in recovery stage were treated with acupuncture with warm needles by moxibustion on tendon knots,once a day 10 times in a course,for two courses of treatment.The disease scores were compared between all groups before and after the treatment,and clinical efficacy was evaluated after the treatment.Results:The disease scores in patients of all three stages were higher after treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Among 90 patients with adhesive capsulitis,32 cases were clinically under controlled,37 cases claimed remarkably effective,18 were effective,and 3 ineffective cases,thus the total effective rate for this stage-based treatment is 96.7%.Conclusion:For adhesive capsulitis,different acupuncture modalities targeting patients in different clinical stages were feasible and effective,the disease scores of patients were significantly improved.

Effectiveness and clinical benefit of a therapy of combined non-pharmaceutical Traditional Chinese Medicine for knee osteoarthritis: a randomized controlled study

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of honey mouthwash 12.5% and chlorhexidine solution 0.2% to reduce the rate of oropharyngeal bacterial colonization in mechanically-ventilated patients.METHODS: This study was a randomized, single blind, phase Ⅲ controlled clinical trial. Sixty patients newly admitted to internal and trauma Intensive Care Units of the two educational hospitals of Sanandaj city affiliated with Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences were selected by convenience sampling and allocated to two groups of 30 patients using random blocks design. In each group,the mouthwash was applied twice a day for four consecutive days. Swab samples were taken from the mouth and throat of all patients three times a day(pre-intervention, two days, and four days after the intervention) and then the samples were transferred onto the blood agar and eosin methylene blue(EMB) culture plates and investigated for bacterial growth and colonization after 24-48 h.RESULTS: The findings showed that oropharyngeal colonization was not significantly different between the two groups, pre-intervention, two days,and four days after the intervention(P > 0.05). Rinsing with honey mouthwash 12.5% led to the inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the fourth day of the intervention in all samples.CONCLUSION: None of the studied solutions contributed to the reduction of oropharyngeal bacterial colonization. It seems that the growth inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by the honey 12.5% mouthwash in mechanically-ventilated patients need further investigation.
