The Clinical Observation Of Electro-acupuncture To Alleviate Pain After Total Knee Replacement

Objective:This study group was to compare the combined treatment of acupuncture of pain after total knee replacement effect, in order to improve and optimize their pain treatment, to further explore the mechanism of acupuncture analgesia for clinical basis. Methods:60 routine total knee replacement (Total Knee Replacement, TKR) patients (total 60 knees), according to visiting randomly divided into treatment group (EA + WM group) and control group (western group) In conventional treatment, care and functional rehabilitation exercises based on the patients in both groups after the day of oral pain medication celecoxib (Celebrex) 200mg, twice daily for 7 days. Anesthetic treatment group resistance disappears, giving EA (density wave) treatment, according to the scope of postoperative dressing, group acupoints,1 day, total 7 times. During treatment, patients recorded the general situation (heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, oxygen saturation, etc.), use of visual analogue pain score (Visual Analogue Scales, VAS) to observe the analgesic effect after seven days in both groups before and after 3 days pain of the immediate analgesic effect of electroacupuncture, hemorheology, and sleep quality in patients, analgesia satisfaction score, etc., and finally unified to VAS score recorded mainly to efficacy evaluation.Results:1. After treatment, pain VAS score decreased day by day, before and after their treatment, a significant statistical significance (P<0.05), between the two groups, the second day after the daily treatment group score was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05); immediate analgesic effect of acupuncture was significantly (P<0.05).2. Sleep quality in patients treated with analgesia scores and patient satisfaction scores were significantly better than the control group (P<0.05).3.7 days after the treatment group a number of blood rheology were significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05).4. Two groups after 3 days in the morning and evening heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, blood oxygen saturation and postoperative adverse events were not significantly different (P>0.05). Conclusion:1.Two kinds of treatment for the relief of pain after total knee replacement patients have a significant effect, the analgesic effect of acupuncture combined with even more significant; immediate analgesic effect of EA is better, the patient happy to accept.2.Plus electric acupuncture can effectively reduce blood viscosity, improve blood circulation, play Huoxuetongluo, General is not the role of pain.3.Postoperative pain relief can improve the quality of sleep in patients, beneficial physical rehabilitation, restoration of joint function, to improve patient satisfaction with hospitalization, surgery to further promote benefit.4.Acupuncture pain relief, safe, inexpensive, no side effects, is worthy of further promotion and research.
