Clinical Research On Meridian-Muscle Regions Treatment In Orthopedic Therapy

Objective:Meridian-Muscle Regions Treatment has been widely used in Orthopedic Therapy,and has made remarkable efficacy. The muscle and tendon injury and rheumatism involving bone are common orthopedic diseases,and are correlated to Meridian-Muscle Regions traveling and lesions. These diseases have high incidence, but a lot of treatment ways have been used, which mainly are conservative treatment and surgery treatment in very few serious symptoms.In recent years, Chinese traditional medicine for its unique approach plays an important role in the non-surgical treatment. In the guidance of Meridian-Muscle Region Theory(MMRT), the treatment of Meridian-Muscle Regions (MMRs) (practices mainly with acupuncture,physiotherapy,fire needle,water needle and cupping, etc.)has been proved simple,convenient,practical,inexpensive by clinical practice.At the same time,chronic clinical practice has proved that MMRs treatment have better clinical results on the muscle and tendon injury and rheumatism involving bone. The purpose of this study is to observe the efficacy of using MMRs treatment to cure the muscle and tendon injury and rheumatism involving bone and explore its mechanism, in order to provide a theoretical basis for clinical application in Orthopedic Therapy.Methods:(1) Randomized controlled clinical trial has been adopted. In accordance with the inclusion criteria,50 patients with the muscle and tendon injury were included. These patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.Each group had 25 cases. Treatment group were treated by the therapy of MMRs, according to three steps of the way through the tendon, tendon acupuncture, cupping. A course of treatment was six times.Treatment 1 of every other day was adopted.Control group were treated by local acupuncture and traditional rationale for the tendons, every other day a time.The treatment was a total of six times. The degree of the improvement of local pain, swelling, dysfunction, skin temperature, ecchymosis and tenderness was observed before and after the treatment. Statistical analysis about the information between the groups was executed through using SPSS 13.0 software. (2) Randomized controlled clinical trial has been adopted. In accordance with the inclusion criteria,50 patients with the rheumatism involving bone were included. These patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.Each group had 25 cases.Treatment group were treated by the therapy of MMRs, according to three steps of the way through the tendon, tendon acupuncture, cupping. A course of treatment was ten times.Treatment 1 of every other day was adopted.Control group were treated by local acupuncture and traditional rationale for the tendons, every other day a time.The treatment was a total of ten times. Reference to the efficacy standard of the related literature, disappearance of knee pain and stiffness, disappearance of joint activities friction and recovery normal of activity function showed markedly; reduce of knee pain, presence of joint activities friction and significant improvement of activity function showed improved; non-significant changes of knee pain and stiffness and no improvement in activity function showed invalid. Statistical analysis about the information between the groups was executed through using SPSS 13.0 software.Result:In the treatment group of muscle and tendon injury, the local pain, swelling, dysfunction, skin temperature, ecchymosis, tenderness can be improved; In the treatment group of rheumatism involving bone, the excellence rate is 60%,and 12% is inefficiency.Conclusion:MMRs treatment can improve the local pain, swelling, dysfunction, skin temperature, ecchymosis, tenderness of the muscle and tendon injury; MMRs treatment can ameliorate the relevant index of rheumatism involving bone, relieve pain, improve the joint function. MMRs treatment can cure the muscle and tendon injury and rheumatism involving bone.
