Research On The Therapeutic Treatment Of Heat Syndrome Lumbar Muscle Strain With Over Skin Moxibustion

Object iveResearch on the therapeutic treatment of heat syndrome and lumbar muscle strain with moxibustion in the theory and in accordance. To observe the clinical curative effet of over skinmoxibustion done on therapeutic treatment of the syndrome of dampness-heat accumulation in spleen and stomach and kidney yin deficiency. Confirms the point of view of’moxibustion can be used for the heat syndrome’; specifically lumbar muscle strain feasibility and efficacy of moxibustion treatment of heat syndrome; and hope to expand the range of clinical applications of moxibustion therapy.MethodsIn this study, a total of90cases patients with lumbar muscle strain were adopted randomized controlled test methods, divided into45cases in each of moxibustion group(trial group)and acupuncture group(control group(, each group contain the syndrome of dampness-heat accumulation in spleen and stomach in30cases and kidney yin deficiency lumbar muscle strain15cases respectively. Treatment:moxibustion group:acupoints selecting:the main acupoints:Shenshu BL23(both sides), Tachangshu BL25(both sides); secondary acupoints:Pishu BL20(both sides), Sanchiaoshu BL22(both sides), Pangkuangshu BL28(both sides). Tools selecting:two pieces of medicine moxa sticks (DongFang moxa factory, Suzhou City). Methods of operation: patients take the prone position, put the moxa sticks3-5cm from the skin and moxibustion the main and secondary acupoints20min. respectively (a total of40min.) until its turn ruddy skin. Course of treatment:weekly treatment once every other day (3times a week), totally take3weeks treatment (9times). Acupuncture group:acupoints selecting:same of moxibustion group. Tools selecting:1.5-inch (0.3x40mm) stainless steel needle of Hua Tuo brand. Methods of operation:Let Patients were prone position, after the acupoints disinfection, based on patient’s bodies size, take the Hua Tuo brand (0.3X40mm)1.5-inch needle to puncture a certain depth, doing mild reinforcing-reducing techniques, so that patients get the soreness and distention feelings or radiation to the lower limbs, retain40min., every10rain, doing mild reinforcing-reducing techniques once. Course of treatment: weekly treatment once every other day (3times a week), totally take3weeks treatment (9times).Statistical analysis and data Summary:Using Excel software for database. Using statistical software to analyze and compare the overall clinical effect, clinical symptoms, signs effect after treatment, then to have final objective to evaluate the clinical efficacy.Statistical methods:All data calculated by using SPSS17.0statistical software to complete analysis. Measurement data with the Mean±Standard Deviation(x±s), the categorical data using the Chi-square test x2, comparison between the two samples using Independent-simples t-test, before and after itself using a Paired-simples t-test or Wilcoxon signed ranks test.ResultsComparability testing:age, gender, disease duration, syndrome of dampness-heat accumulation in spleen and stomach and kidney yin deficiency, number of pain, VAS, spinal mobility and the Oswestry obstacles index in two groups before treatment, there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05).It’s explain that there was equivalent and comparable in two groups. Effect comparison:The syndrome of dampness-heat accumulation in spleen and stomach:Compared total score after treatment, the two groups were statistically significant, difference between the two groups were significant. Two treatments for syndrome of dampness-heat accumulation in spleen and stomach equally effective. Moxibustion group (trial group) total effective rate was86.67%better than the acupuncture group (control group) with total efficiency of30%. The difference was statistically significant(P<0.01). This obviously show that moxibustion treatment was more effective than acupuncture in the syndrome of dampness-heat accumulation in spleen and stomach.Kidney yin deficiency syndrome:Compared the total score after treatment, the two groups were statistically significant, difference between the two groups were significant. Two treatments for kidney yin deficiency syndrome equally effective. Moxibustion group (trial group) total effective rate was53.33%better than the acupuncture group (control group) with total efficiency of20%. The difference was statistically significant(P<0.01). The resuit mean that moxibustion treatment was more effective than acupuncture in the syndrome of kidney yin deficiency. Lumbar muscle strain syndromes:Compared the total score after treatment, the two groups were statistically significant, difference between the two groups were significant. Two treatments are equally effective for lumbar muscle strain. Moxibustion group (trial group) total effective rate was88.89%better than the acupuncture group (control group) with total effective rate of77.78%. The difference was statistically significant(P<0.01). The resuit mean that moxibustion treatment was more effective than acupuncture in lumbar muscle strain.ConclusionClinical application of moxibustion in treating heat syndrome of lumbar muscle strain withgood efficacy compared acupuncture treatment, moxibustion was safe, reliable, non-toxic side effects, it’s worthy of clinical generalization and application.
