| ObjectiveChronic fatigue syndrome(CFS)is a common disease with chronic fatigue as the chief complaint.With the gradual increase of incidence,it increases the social medical cost and becomes one of the hot spots in medical research.As one of the methods to treat chronic fatigue syndrome,Caiqiao therapy is accepted by the majority of patients.However,there is no unified operating standard.Professor Luo summarized a set of standard Caiqiao therapy from years of clinical work,which is used to treat chronic fatigue syndrome and obtain good clinical feedback.This project intends to use the method of Caiqiao therapy and conventional massage to treat chronic fatigue syndrome,and the efficacy of the study was evaluated by three scales(fatigue scale-14,fatigue assessment instrument,fatigue symptom integral scale).The purpose of this study was to observe whether the treatment group with Caiqiao therapy had more advantages in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome than the control group with conventional massage,and to explore the mechanism of the Caiqiao therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome.Finally,it provides a new scientific and effective method for the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome.MethodCases were collected from the the massage clinic of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine(Sanyuanli campus)and GuangDong Second Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.From May 2018 to December 2018,62 cases of patients with CFS were randomly included in the treatment group(with Caiqiao therapy)or the control group(with conventional massage)according to the random number,with 31 cases in each group.The two groups were treated once a day for the first 2 days,20min each time,and once every other day,with 5 times as a course of treatment.The subject had a total of 2 courses of treatment,and the interval between the two courses of treatment was 2~3 days.Before and after treatment,the patients completed the fatigue related scale score,and the researchers used SPSS24.0 software to make statistics and observe the scores of each scale,then compared the advantages and disadvantages of the two treatments.ResultIn this study,62 cases of CFS patients were included,and 1 case fell off in the control group during the period.31 cases in the final treatment group(Caiqiao therapy)and 30 cases in the control group(conventional massage)completed clinical observation.There was no significant difference in general data(gender,age,course of disease)between the two groups(P乃0.05).The scores of the three scales selected for the observation indexes all showed no significant scales,the treatment group was significantly lower than the control group difference between the groups before treatment(P>0.05),and the mean standard deviation of the scale scores after treatment in both groups were significantly lower than that before treatment(P<0.05).The statistical results showed that both groups could achieve efficacy in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome.In terms of the post-treatment scores of the three(P<0.05),and the difference before and after treatment was significantly higher than the control group(P<0.01).In the efficacy evaluation,the number of cured and significant patients in the treatment group was 25,while that in the control group was 13.The statistical effective rate was 73.33%in the control group,which was significantly lower than that in the treatment group(96.77%)(P<0.05).It has been preliminarily proved that the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome by Caiqiao therapy is better than that by conventional massage,and provides clinical evidence.ConclusionBoth the Caiqiao therapy method and the conventional massage method have clinical effects in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome,and the clinical effect of the Caiqiao therapy is better than the conventional massage,so it provides a safe,standard,effective and labor-saving operation method for the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome,which is worthy of clinical promotion and application. |
