Clinical Research Of Catgut Embedding On Paravertebrals In Treating Lumbar Muscle Strain

Objective:Compare the therapeutic effect of catgut embedding between Paravertebrals (L2-L5) and bladder channel BL23-BL26 on lumbar region, which provide clinical evidence-base effect for treating lumbar muscle strain with catgut embedding.Method:This research was based on article research and guild line provided by my tutor.60 patients were randomly and equally divided into treatment group(30) and control group(30). Treatment group receives catgut embedding on Paravertebrals (L2-L5) and control group receives catgut embedding on BL23-BL26. All patients receives 1 treatment a week at 1 week interval,4 treatment all together. Dates from simplified McGill scale and Japanese JOA low lumbar pain scale were collected to set up a database. All dates were processed by SPSS19.0 to objectively access the therapeutic effect between two groups.ResuIt:57 patience completed the whole trial,3 were exclude due to medicine taking. Both group show insignificant differences on genders ages duration of the disease and baseline score on McGill/JOA scale(P>0.05). Compared with control group, treatment group shows better improvement in McGill and JOA scores after 4 treatment (P< 0.05), which demonstrates advantage on reduce pain and symptom/sign.28 patients in treatment group who completed the whole trial, 3 were cure (10.34%),18 were marked effective (62.07%),6 were effective (20.68%),1 was ineffective (3.35%).Total effective rate was 96.55%.29 patients in control group who completed the whole trial,1 was cured(3.33%),16 were marked effective(53.33%).10 were effective(33.33%),2 were ineffective, total effective rate was 93.33%. There are insignificant differences between two group.Conelusion:Catgut embedding on Paravertebrals (L2～L5) have better improvement in reducing pain and symptomsign, achieving higher total effective rate and cure rate than catgut embedding on bladder channel.
