Objective To observe the
clinical efficacy of thermal
electroacupuncture therapy in treating lumbodorsal myofascitis.
Method Sixty-two
patients with lumbodorsal myofascitis were randomized into a
treatment group of 30 cases and a
control group of 32 cases. The
treatment group was intervened by thermal
electroacupuncture therapy, while the
control group was by orally taking
Meloxicam tablets. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was observed before and
after treatment, and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The total effective rate was 100.0% in the
treatment group versus 78.1% in the
control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The VAS scores were significantly changed
after treatment in both groups (P<0.05).
After treatment, the VAS score in the
treatment group was significantly different from that in the
control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Thermal
electroacupuncture therapy is an effective approach in treating lumbodorsal myofascitis.
