| ObjectiveBy comparing the change of subjects before and after treatment of the symptoms (AOFAS) and pain index (VAS) and joint activity (ROM), were analyzed according to the experimental effect, to further explore the clinical effect of the routine acupuncture, electroacupuncture and warm acupuncture the three different methods in the treatment of chronic ankle joint sprain of athletes, so as to choose a more effective method in clinical application.MethodsThe students from the Guangzhou University of TraditionaL Chinese Medicine, College of Physical Education, basketball, soccer, martial arts as the research object, aged 18-26 years old, Healthy, exercise capacity is similar, the amount of daily exercise is basically the same. Using appropriate sample randomized controlled study, selected in accordance with the inclusion criteria of 99 subjects were randomly divided into routine acupuncture, electro acupuncture and warm acupuncture group, each group has 33 patients. The main points to "tthree ankle needles" (JieXi,KunLun, Taixi), as the case with other acupoints. Three groups of patients were treated 1 times a day,6 times for 1 week, with two weeks of treatment for observation of treatment. Comparison of curative effect index before and after treatment, and statistical analysis.Results1. Before treatment, the age, sex, course of disease, the pain visual (VAS), the joint activity (ROM), AOFAS ankle and foot functional rating score of subjects there was no significant differences were comparable (P>0.05).2. All the three acupuncture methods produced a better therapeutic effect on old ankle sprain. The overall effect:the routine acupuncture group of 30 cases,5 were cured,6 markedly effective,12 effective,7 ineffective, the total effective rate was 76.7%; 33 cases of electroacupuncture group,13 were cured,9 markedly effective,10 effective,1 ineffective, the total effective rate was 97%; the warm acupuncture group 32 cases,11 were cured,8 were markedly effective,10 effective,3 cases ineffective, the total effective rate was 90.6%. Overall efficacy of warm acupuncture group and electroacupuncture group were higher than routine acupuncture group.3. After treatment,3 groups of subjects VAS scores were significantly lessened, with statistical significance (P<0.05), shows that 3 groups could relieve the pain, the electroacupuncture group and warm needle group of VAS score was significantly less than routine acupuncture group, there is statistical significance (P<0.05), that the warm needle group and electroacupuncture group in Relieving pain better than routine acupuncture group.4.4. After treatment, three groups of subjects with AOFAS were compared with the previous increase, there is statistical significance(p<0.05). Three groups can effectively improve the symptoms of patients, but the electroacupuncture and warm acupuncture group after treatment AOFAS score was significantly higher than routine acupuncture group. The 2 groups in improving patients’symptoms than routine acupuncture group.5. After treatment,3 groups of subjects the joint activity (ROM) were significantly increased, with statistical significance (P<0.05), they all can effectively improve the range of motion, But the warm acupuncture group After treatment joint activity ROM score was higher than electro-acupuncture and routine acupuncture group, show that warm acupuncture group in improving joint activities were superior to electroacupuncture and routine acupuncture group.ConclusionThis topic through the routine acupuncture, electrical acupuncture and warm acupuncture three different acupuncture therapy to treat athlete old sprain of ankle, results show that the improvement of pain, joint activity and patients’ overall symptoms of electro acupuncture and warm needle group were significantly better than routine acupuncture group. Description of the EA group and warm acupuncture of old ankle sprain, high curative effect, worthy of promotion. |
