Clinical Observation of PHENIX Electrical Stimulation in Preventing Complications after Missed Abortion / 上海针灸杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of PHENIX electrical stimulation in preventing complications after missed abortion.Method A thousand patients receiving uterine cavity operation on missed abortion were randomized into two groups, 500 cases in each group. Patients in the two groups were asked to orally take Estradiol valerate, successively for 3 d prior to the operation. Right after the operation, the treatment group started to receive electrical stimulation at Guanyuanshu (BL 26) and Guanyuan (CV 4) via PHENIX USB 4/8 neuromuscular stimulation therapeutic apparatus, together with conventional preventive anti-inflammatory treatment; the control group only received the conventional preventive anti-inflammatory treatment after the operation. The colporrhagia duration and the resumption of menstruation in the two groups were observed, and the menstruation, postoperative adhesion ratio and adhesion rate were compared between the two groups.Result There were significant differences in comparing the duration of colporrhagia and the time of the resumption of menstruation after the operation between the two groups (P<0.05); there were significant differences in comparing the postoperative menstruation, intrauterine adhesion ratio and adhesion rate between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion PHENIX electrical stimulation can shorten the time of colporrhagia after missed abortion, promote the resumption of menstruation, and effectively prevent intrauterine adhesions.
