Therapeutic Effect of Shaoyao Jiawei Gancao Decoction(芍药加味甘草汤)with Acupoint Application on Chronic Lumbar Muscle Strain and the Recovery of Lumbar Strength

Objective:To study the therapeutic effect of Shaoyao Jiawei Gancao Decoction(芍药加味甘草汤)with acupoint application on chronic lumbar muscle strain and the recovery of lumbar strength.Methods:From August 2018 to August 2019,100 patients with chronic lumbar muscle strain admitted to our hospital were selected and randomly divided into an acupoint application group and a combined group of 50 cases each.The acupoint application group was treated by acupoint application,and the combined group was treated with Shaoyao Jiawei Gancao Decoction(芍药加味甘草汤)based on acupoint application.The indexes scores,VAS scores,ADL scores,ODI scores,lumbar endurance,TCM syndrome scores and the treatment effects of the two groups before and after treatment were statistically analyzed,and TNF-αand TXB2 levels were detected.Results:After treatment,the scores of indexes,VAS,ODI,TCM syndrome,TNF-αand TXB2 in the combined group were lower than those in the acupoint application group,and the ADL score,lumbar endurance and treatment efficiency were higher than those in the acupoint application group,with a statistical difference(P<0.05).Conclusion:Shaoyao Jiawei Gancao Decoction(芍药加味甘草汤)with acupoint application can effectively reduce pain,improve lumbar function,restore lumbar strength,effectively relieve inflammation,with significant effects.

PGE2／cAMP信号通路对芍药甘草汤镇痛作用的影响

目的:探讨芍药甘草汤的镇痛作用机制。方法:采用福尔马林致痛法观察I相和II相疼痛反应;采用酶联免疫法测定冰醋酸致痛小鼠血清中前列腺素E2(PGE2)和环磷酸腺苷(cAMP)的浓度。结果:较大剂量芍药甘草汤对福尔马林致痛模型动物I相和II相疼痛反应均呈现抑制作用;并明显降低冰醋酸致痛模型小鼠血清中PGE2和cAMP浓度。结论:PGE2/cAMP信号通路参与了芍药甘草汤的镇痛作用。
