ABSTRACT
To investigate the clinical efficacy of point Houxi(SI 3) electroacupuncture for treating acute lumbar sprain. Methods:
Three hundred patients with acute lumbar sprain were randomly grouped with a random number table. The electroacupuncture group was treated by electro-acupuncture at point Houxi (SI 3) and the medication group,with meloxicam.Results:
A comparison of the short-term effects showed that the efficacy rate was 97.3% in the electroacupuncture group and 89.3% in the medication group. The average rank of the short-term effect score was lower in the electroacupuncture group than in the medication group (P<0.01);there was a significant difference between the two groups. A comparison of the long-term effect showed that the efficacy rate was 99.3% in the electroacupuncture group and 93.2% in the medication group. The average rank of the long-term effect score was lower in the electroacupuncture group than in the medication group (P<0.01);there was a significant difference between the two groups.Conclusion:
Both point Houxi (SI 3) electroacupuncture and meloxicam have a marked effect on acute lumbar sprain,but the short-term and long-term effects are better in the electroacupuncture group than in the medication group.
