A Study About The Relativity Between Human Cytomegalovirus Infection And Nonspecific Low Back Pain And The Effect Of Moving Cupping Therapy On Nonspecific Low Back Pain

Objective To assess the treatment effect of moving cupping therapy on nonspecific low back pain(NLBP); To detect human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in urine samples from patients of NLBP through cell culture and urine sediment PCR; To explore the changes of HCMV in urine samples from NLBP Patients before and after moving cupping therapy. Method Randomly selected 50 NLBP outpatients as NLBP group from Rehabilitation Dept. of the First Affiliated Hospital to Anhui Medical University and NLBP group were treated with moving cupping therapy; A period of moving cupping therapy included 6-time moving cupping therapy in all (one time every two days ); Before and after a period of treatment respectively, used visual analog scale ( VAS) and 36-Item Short Form (SF-36) assessing the degree of low back pain, the capability of daily activity, and the total state of heath. Control group included 36 healthy people who were volunteers from all walks of life and their ages and sexes were similar to those of NLBP group. Got 10ml the first early morning urine of every study object (for NLBP group, two times including before and after a period of moving cupping therapy): inoculating human embryonic lung fibroblast cell (HF) with 2ml urine samples after being filtrated; Detected HCMV DNA in urine sediment of another 8ml urine by PCR. Statistical methods: used chi-squares, independent samples T test, paired samples T test and nonparametric test according to different datum. Result (1) In NLBP group, before (after) moving cupping therapy VAS index and SF-36 scores respectively:6.64±1.76 (1.40±1.23) and 34.95±10.00 (54.77±9.53) , the...
