Clinical Observation Of Grain-seized Moxibustion In Lumbago Caused By Deficiency Of Kidney

BackgroundLumbago caused by deficiency of kidney is a common type of low back pain in clinical, with the continuous development of society, the increasing pressure of life, the incidence of kidney deficiency low back pain is also increasing. In Chinese medicine,people with kidney deficiency low back pain always treat with Chinese herbal medicine to drink, acupuncture and massage and other methods, and the curative effect is good. Moxibustion is also commonly used in Chinese medicine treatment of low back pain kidney deficiency among. Moxa has the effect of warming, dredging the channel, scattering cold and reducing pain. This paper uses grain-sized moxibustion to treat low back pain. Existing the grain-seized moxibustion moxa has warming effect. Modern literature showed that the grain-seized moxibustion has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. The grain-seized moxibustion can stimulate persistently, locate accurately, and operate easily.ObiectiveTo observe the clinical effects of grain-moxibustion in lumbago caused by deficiency of kidney, provide the basis for clinical treatment of lumbago caused by deficiency of kidney.Methods66 Patients with lumbago caused by deficiency of kidney were randomly assigned to either a treatment group or a control group. The treatment group was given grain-seized moxibustion, while the control group was given warming moxibustion. 14days constituted a course of treatment and 2 courses were given to two group. To assess the clinical therapeutic effects before and after 1 treatment and after 1 course by the VAS score and the low back Pain score modified by Japaness Orthopaedie Association(JOA).Results1. No significant difference in baseline characters between the two group (P> 0.05).2. The comparison of VAS score:Before the treatment, there was no significant difference of VAS score, the date had comparable(P<0.05). The result suggested that after 1 course and after 2 course was significantly different from before the treatment in the two group, the treatment group had less score. Comparison between two group in after 1 course was significant different (P<0.05), and after 2 course was on the same(P<0.05).3. The comparison of JOA score:Before the treatment, there was no significant difference of JOA score, the date had comparable(P<0.05). The result suggested that after 1 course and after 2 course was significantly different from before the treatment in the two group, the treatment group had more significant score. Comparison between two group in after 1 course was no significant different(P>0.05), while after 2 course was on the contrary(P <0.05).4. The comparison of effectiveness:The total effective rate was 93.939% in treatment group and 87.879% in control group with significant differences (P <0.05).Conclusion1. The grain-seized moxibustion treatment group and the warming control group both have effect. They both can improve the back pain, symptoms, sign and limb function.2. The symptom recovery rate in the grain-seized moxibustion was better the warming control group on the back pain, symptoms, sign and limb function.
