Clinical Observation On The Treatment Of Gluteus Medius Syndrome With Qi-needling Combined With Clam-type Opening And Closing Movement

ObjectiveTo compare the advantages of simultaneous acupuncture combined with clam-type opening and closing movement and conventional acupuncture in the treatment of gluteus medius syndrome,observe the positive effects of simultaneous acupuncture combined with clam-type opening and closing movement in improving clinical symptoms and delaying the decline of gluteus medius function,and provide intervention measures for gluteus medius injury.MethodAccording to epidemiological sampling requirements,64 patients with gluteus medius syndrome were selected and divided into two groups for treatment.The control group was treated with conventional acupuncture,while the observation group was treated with simultaneous acupuncture combined with clam-type opening and closing exercise.The changes of pain visual analogue score,Oswestry dysfunction index and clinical symptom score were observed before and after treatment to determine the clinical curative effect.Result1.Visual pain simulation score(VAS): The VAS scores of the patients in both groups decreased significantly(P < 0.05),and the VAS scores of the group treated by the method of simultaneous needling combined with clam-type opening and closing movement decreased more significantly,with a statistically significant difference(P < 0.05).2.Oswestry dysfunction index score: The scores of Oswestry dysfunction index in both groups decreased significantly(P < 0.05),and the treatment group of simultaneous acupuncture combined with clam-type opening and closing exercise was superior to the treatment group of conventional acupuncture in improving the degree of back pain,daily living ability,lifting and walking,and the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05).3.clinical symptom score: the clinical symptom score of both groups decreased significantly(p < 0.05),and the pain,tenderness,lower limb radiation pain and lameness in the treatment group of simultaneous acupuncture combined with clam-type opening and closing exercise were better than those in the treatment group of conventional acupuncture,and the difference was statistically significant(p < 0.05).4.Clinical curative effect: The total clinical effective rate of the group of simultaneous acupuncture combined with clam-type opening and closing exercise was 93.33%,while that of the group of conventional acupuncture was 68.97%,with a statistically significant difference(P < 0.05).ConclusionCompared with the control group,the observation group can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of patients with gluteus medius syndrome and promote the recovery of gluteus medius motor function,which is worthy of clinical application.
