| ObjectiveThis study was aimed to observe the clinical efficiency of the Lateral Epicondylitis of wind cold blocked the channels. We treated the patients with only taking medicine particle prescription Juanbi Decoction as the control group, while the patients with fire needle and Juanbi Decoction as the treatment group, tried to find the difference of the clinical efficacy of these two methods, also analyzed the reason of the difference. We wished to provide the evidence for the clinical efficiency of the Lateral Epicondylitis and also to found the simple and effective method.MethodsWe totally took 60 patients who got the external humeral epicondylitis of wind cold stasis type in this research. With the randomized method, these 60 cases were divided into two groups, each group had 30 patients. Patients in the treatment group were treated with fire needle and Juanbi Decoction, while the control group only took the Juanbi Decoction. The fire needle group chose one to two points which was the most obvious tenderness or scleroma, Quchi, Shoussanli as the treat points, each three days once, two weeks as one course. While the patients took the medicine, Juanbi Decoction, once a day. After the 2 weeks course, we observed the elbow pain VAS score and the clinical signs score before and after the treatment. The clinical data was statistical analysed by SPSS19.0 and compared the clinical efficacy of the two groups of patients.Results① The comparison of the Baseline data:before the treatment, the basic information of two these two groups had no obvious difference, including the gender, age, disease condition. It had clinical comparability.② The VAS score:before the treatment, the VAS scores in the treatment group was 6.05±1.18, the VAS scores of the control group was 5.91±1.37, there was no significant difference (P>0.05), it was comparable. While after 2 weeks of treatment, the VAS scores in the treatment group was 2.13± 0.44, the control group was3.29±0.51. The VAS scores of the two groups significantly decreased (P<0.05), While the treatment group’s VAS scores decreased more obviously (P<0.05).③ Clinical signs score:before treatment, the treatment group’s symptom integral was 8.98±2.18, the control group’s score was 8.62±2.46, it had no significant difference, and was comparable. After 2 weeks of treatment, the clinical signs integral in the treatment group was 3.52 ±1.25, the control group was 5.27±1.82. Compared before treatment, the symptom integral in both two group decreased significantly (P<0.05), While the treatment group’s symptom integral decreased more significantly (P<0.05).④ The overall effect:after a period of 2 weeks of treatment, the patients in treatment group were cured in 2 cases (6.66%),12 cases obvious effect(40.00%),12 cases had efficiency (40.00%),4 patients had no efficiency (13.33%) and the total clinical efficiency was 86.67%. While there was no patients in control patients was cured,8 cases had obvious effect (26.66%),12 cases had efficiency (40.00%),10 cases had no efficiency(33.33%), the total effective rate was 66.67%.ConelusionThis study shows that fire needle with scientific medicine Juan Bi Decoction can improve the elbow VAS score and clinical signs integral of wind cold stasis type lateral epicondylitis patients, the clinical efficiency was better than only took scientific medicine. |
