Treatment Studies, Ea Intervention In Post-operative Adhesion Formation

Objective: To study the effect of electro-acupuncture in preventing and treating postop antephase adhesions.Method : 40 Rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups: normal control group, model group 1 and 2, antephase electro-acupuncture group, the anaphase electro-acupuncture group. Muscle adhesion was established by operation method. Antephase electro-acupuncture group was received the treatment from the 10^th day to the 20^th day after the operation, anaphase electro-acupuncture group began treating in from the 21^stday after the operation, lasting ten days. We observe the effect on weight of the animal, Gait analysis, ROM and morphology change of adhesion tissue.Result: 1.Antephase electro-acupuncture treatment can improve the standingand walking of adhesion rabbits, while anaphase electro-acupuncture treatment can only affect step length. 2.ROM is clearly enhanced by electro-acupuncture in Antephase, but the effect of electro-acupuncture is not obvious in anaphase. 3.Antephase electro-acupuncture treatment can restrain the tendency of hyperplasia, Fibrotic of postop tissue. 4. Antephase electro-acupuncture treatment can improve the alinement of muscle fiber during postop tissue repair.Conclusion: Antephase electro-acupuncture treatment can prevent the postopadhesion of muscle, the effect of electro-acupuncture is not significant in anaphase. It is worthy of further study.
