RESUMO
Objective:To observe the clinical effects of acupuncture at Yaotongdian (EX-UE 7) plus the oblique Ban-pulling manipulation for acute lumbar sprain. Methods:A total of 180 patients were divided into an observation group and a control group by drawing lots. The 98 cases in the observation group were treated by puncturing Yaotongdian (EX-UE 7) plus the oblique Ban-pulling manipulation. The 82 cases in the control group were only treated by the oblique Ban-pulling manipulation. After the two groups were treated continuously for three sessions, the therapeutic effects were observed. Results:In the observation group, 96 cases were cured and 2 cases were improved; the curative rate was 98.0% and the total effective rate was 100%. In the control group, 76 cases were cured, 4 cases were improved and 2 cases failed; the curative rate was 92.7% and the total effective rate was 97.6%. In comparison of the curative rate and total effective rate, the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). But, the curative rate after the first treatment was higher in the observation group than that in the control group, with a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion:The therapeutic effects were similar by acupuncture at Yaotongdian (EX-UE 7) plus oblique Ban-pulling manipulation and by single oblique Ban-pulling manipulation for acute lumbar sprain. But, it took effect quickly by puncturing Yaotongdian (EX-UE 7) plus the oblique Ban-pulling manipulation.
RESUMO
Objective: To observe the clinical effect of tuina for cervical intervertebral disc herniation. Methods: Eighty seven cases were randomized into a treatment and a control group. 39 cases in the treatment group were treated with tuina manipulation, while 48 cases in the control group were treated with combined cervical traction and medium-frequency impulse. Cases in both groups were treated 3 times a week, and 10 times constitute a course of treatment. Results: Of 39 cases in the treatment group, 22 obtained recovery, 13 obtained marked effects and 4 obtained improvement, manifesting a marked effect rate of 89.7% and an effective rate of 100.0%. Of 48 cases in the control group, 23 obtained recoveries, 17obtained marked effects, 7 obtained improvements and 1 saw no improvement, manifesting a marked effect rate of 83.3% and an effective rate of 97.9%. There were no statistical differences in the marked effect rate and total effective rate. Cases in the treatment group were treated 17.8 times on average, while cases in the control group were treated 26.6 times on average. Conclusion: Despite the equivalent effects in the treatment of cervical intervertebral disc herniation, tuina is superior to combined traction and medium-frequency impulse in terms of a faster effect and shorter course of treatment.
