RESUMEN
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of comprehensive muscle-region therapy based on Chuang Medicine in treating cervical spondylosis of neck type.Method A hundred patients with cervical spondylosis of neck type were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 50 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by the comprehensive muscle-region therapy based on Chuang medicine (muscle-region tuina, fire-needle acupuncture of Chuang medicine, and cupping), while the control group was by regular acupuncture treatment. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score and symptoms and signs scores were observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The VAS scores respectively after 1 and 2 treatment courses were significantly different from that before intervention in the treatment group (P<0.05,P<0.01). The VAS score after 2 treatment courses was significantly different from that before intervention in the control group (P<0.05). After 2 treatment courses, the VAS score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the symptoms and signs scores (pain intensity, pain-affected area, number of tender points, limited motion, and general score) were significantly different from that before intervention in the treatment group (P<0.01, P<0.05). In the control group, the pain intensity, limited motion and general score after treatment were significantly different from that before intervention (P<0.05,P<0.01). After treatment, the symptoms and signs scores in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05,P<0.01). The total effective rate was 100.0% in the treatment group versus 84.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Comprehensive muscle- region therapy in Chuang medicine is an effective approach in treating cervical spondylosis of neck type.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the frustration-confronting ability training on adversity quotient(AQ)of nursing graduates.Methods One hundred and fifty nursing graduates were received the frustration-confronting ability training.The adversity quotient scale was used in the investigation before and after the training.Result The total scores of AQ and other scores on all factors in AQ after training were significantly higher than before the training(all P<0.01).Conclusion The frustration-confronting ability training may be effective for the improvement of nursing graduates’AQ.
