Clinical Study Of Electro-acupuncture And Chinese Medicine Wash On Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is the most common peripheral nerve injury. In recent years, with on the computer being more and more popular in the life, work, carpal tunnel syndrome the popularity of the incidence is rising trend, this paper reviewed recent ten years about the acupuncture therapy and Chinese medicine wash on carpal tunnel syndrome and effect mechanism of the documents, found that acupuncture treatment of the related points and Chinese medicine wash are better able to improve the symptoms of the disease, this paper reported using electrophysiology test evaluation Electro-acupuncture treatment and Chinese medicine wash curative effect on carpal tunnel syndrome.ObjectiveTo use electrical physiology detection assessment Shujinxiyao and Electro-acupuncture treatment on carpal tunnel syndrome effect, evaluation Shujinxiyao and Electro-acupuncture treatment on carpal tunnel syndrome and discusses the effectiveness and feasibility of the mechanism of nerve injury, Electro-acupuncture treatment for patients improve treatment effect, provide a feasible scheme.MethodsFrom Mar 2010 to Feb 2011 in orthopedics department and Acupuncture department in Foshan Hospital of TCM for medical clinic diagnosis in carpal tunnel syndrome.80 cases of patients Randomly divided into Chinese medicine wash group and Electro-acupuncture treatment group. Patients in Chinese medicine wash group were given Shujinxiyao that was Manufactured in Foshan Hospital of TCM to wash, and Electro-acupuncture treatment group were given Electro-acupuncture therapy. Review, record the midline electric physiology check and ulnar nerve conduction velocity (sports MCV), sensory conduction velocity (SCV), muscle composite action potentials (CMAP) amplitude, sensory nerve action potentials (SNAP) amplitude, peripheral movement (DML), lurking muscle electromyography (EMG), etc., all material both by SPSS13.0 statistical package complete, counting material adopts a chi-square test, the level of significance for alpha=0.05, when p<0.05 for significant difference (p<0.01, when for difference is very significant.ResultsThe two groups generally material, including age, gender, professional, course by t-test and etc., chi-square test, the difference was statistically significant, two groups of comparable; Two groups of patients each index independent sample before t test, has the variance neat sex; The Electro-acupuncture treatment group and western medicine group total points for treatment efficacy chi-square test, P<0.05, compared with significant difference; Between each group, P<0.05 within, compared with statistical significance.ConclusionThis study not only observe against carpal tunnel syndrome patients clinical symptoms, physical signs of improvement, and through the EMG to physical changes before and after the treatment of neural electricity as objective observation index, increased the reliability and comparability clinical research, the research proof Electro-acupuncture treatment in carpal tunnel syndrome, less side-effect, definite effect, worth in clinical experiences.
