High-energy Vibration Wave Combined with External Application of Shuangbo Ointment for Calcaneodynia / 广州中医药大学学报

ABSTRACT

Thirty-two cases of calcaneodynia were treated with high-energy vibration wave combined with external application of Shuangbo Ointment (Group 1) and other 32 with high-energy vibration wave only (Group 2) as control. The results showed that the markedly effective rates of short-term treatment (3 weeks) and long-term treatment (3 months) were 56.25% and 84.37% in Group 2, and 81.25% and 93.75% in Group 1 respectively. It is suggested that high-energy vibration wave combined with external application of Shuangbo Ointment exerts a better effect for calcaneodynia, and can decrease the occurrence of hematoma and periosteum stripping induced by high-energy vibration wave.
