The Clinical Observation Of Adjunct Points Of Xi-cleft Point And Jiaji Points In Treatment Of Sciatica

ObjectiveThe study adopts the method of adjunct points of xi-cleft point and jiaji points for patients with sciatica, compare with another group treating with common acupuncture method, then VAS score and JOA score were recorded after the course of treatment. Observing the clinical effect and summarizing the mechanization.Methods60patients were randomly divided into treatment group-and control group. There were30patients in treatment group and the other30patients in control group. Patients in the treatment group which treated by adjunct points of xi-cleft point and jiaji points, and control group which treated by commom acupuncture method, the efficacy of the treatment group and the control group were be compared after4course of treatment. The observe indexes were the Visual Analog Scale(VAS) and the JOA scale. We compared the scores of VAS and JOA before and after the treatment, finally used the SPSS software to statistical data analysis and conclusions.Results1. Before the treatment, the difference of VAS score between the two groups was not significant(P>0.05), adopted each acupuncture method, the VAS score was decreased in both groups, and the score of observed group markedly decreased, and there was significant difference between the two groups (P<0.01), which indicated that it had better advantages of decreasing the VAS sore of the patients with Sciatica.2. According to JOA scale, There was no significant difference between the two groups before the treatment (P>0.05). after4course of treatment, the JOA scores changed, and the observed group had better improvement, the difference was significant (P<0.05). While the improvement was super to control group.3. After4course of treatment, the total effect rate of observe group was93.3%, while the control group was76.6%, With the Ridit analysis, there was significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05), indicating that the therapeutic efficacy in the treatment group was better than that in the control group.4. According to the clinical efficacy of the long-term effect, in the treatment group, the clinical control was15, markedly effective9cases, effective5cases, recrudesce1cases, the effective rate was96.7%, while in the control group, clinical control was10, markedly effective10cases, effective5cases, recrudesce5cases, the effective rate was83.3%, the curative effect of the treatment group was better (P<0.05)ConclusionSatisfactory clinical effect can be obtained with the method of adjunct points of xi-cleft point and jiaji points for patients with sciatica. In this study, after the course of treatment, the VAS scores were markable decreased, and the JOA score also changed significantly, even the result in a month follow-up. This method can improve clinical symptoms, clinical sign and the quality of life, the points prescriptions is simple and effective therapeutic methods with safty, which is expected to be applied and generalized in clinic.
