ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influence of parental compliance on the therapeutic effect of children with epilepsy.Methods Two hundred and sixty children with epilepsy and their parents admitted to the First People's Hospital of Wenling from December 2013 to June 2016 were enrolled,and the classical Morisky medication adherence questionnaire (MMAS-8) was applied to evaluate the compliance of parents for treatment of their children with epilepsy;after the patient taking drug for 3 days,fasting venous blood was collected in the morning,the concentration of the blood drug was tested and the influence of parent compliance on the blood drug concentration of the child with epilepsy was evaluated.Results In 260 patients,122 cases took karma form,and 138 cases took valproate orally.There were parents with good medication compliance in 130 cases (50％),medium medication compliance 80 cases (30.76％) and poor adherence to the doctor order in 50 cases (19.23％).In cases using medication irregularly,there were 26 cases sometimes without taking any drug (10.0％),17 patients' medication being interrupted (6.54％) and 10 cases having excessive medication (3.85％);no relationships were found between parental compliance and each of the following items,family role,occupation and age (all P ＞ 0.05);and the compliance was related to gender,indicating that women's good compliance level was higher than that of males';the education level was positively proportional to the compliance,and the compliance of parents with senior high school or above degree was higher than those with primary school and junior secondary school levels (83 cases vs.9 cases,38 cases,both P ＜ 0.01).Under situation of parents with poor compliance,their children had blood drug concentration higher or lower than proper range of drug level (high in 22 cases,low in 41 cases,higher than the result in good compliance 0 cases and 17 cases respectively),thus seriously affected the safety and efficacy of the treatment;the patients' frequency of irregular medication in parents' good compliance group was significantly lower than that in parents' poor compliance group [3.08％ (4/130) vs.72.0％ (36/50),P ＜ 0.05].Conclusion To improve the therapeutic effect of epileptic children,their parental good cooperation is necessary.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy on the pain caused by soft tissue injury.MethodsThere were 63 cases with tennis elbow, 106 cases with frozen shoulder, and 45 cases with the pain syndrome. All the 214 cases were divide into study group and control group, 107 cases in each group. The study group received extracorporeal shock wave therapy around the pain point; the control group recieved partial closure, massage, and drugs treatment. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were assessed before and 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment.ResultsThe scores of VAS showed no difference between the two groups before and 4 weeks after the treatment (P＞0.05). The study group improved in VAS 8 weeks and 12 weeks after the treatment compared to the control group (P＜0.01); the overall efficacy rate was higher in the study group than in the control group (P＜0.01).ConclusionExtracorporeal shock wave therapy is effective to treat the pain caused by soft tissue injury.
