Clinical Resreach On Thermosensitive Moxibustion Combined With Acupuncture On The Treatment Of The Cold-dampness Shoulder Back Myofascial Pain Syndrome

ObjectiveThis experiment will take the therapy "thermosensitive moxibustion combined with acupuncture " as the treatment group,and the therapy“moxibustion combined with acupuncture " as the control group.By comparing the changes of the VAS score,PQSI score and SAS score before and after the treatment,we will discuss the different clinical effects between these two therapies,and intend to find out the better therapy for the patients who suffer from the cold-dampness shoulder back Myofascial pain syndrome.The research will also provide the foundation and the experience for acupuncture treatments in treating shoulder back Myofascial pain syndrome.Methods70 suitable cases were selected randomly from patients in Foshan Chinese medicine Hospital and in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine Department of acupuncture clinic during January 2018 to December 2018.They were randomly divided into two groups(the treatment group and the control group),with 35 cases in each.The treatment group were treated with the therapy " thermosensitive moxibustion combined with acupuncture",and the control group with the therapy "moxibustion combined with acupuncture".During the experiment,VAS scores,PQSI scores,SAS scores and the total effective rate were compared before and after the treatment.The datas were recorded into SPSS23.0 for statistical analysis.ResultAt the end of this study,66 cases were collected,including 33 cases in the treatment group and 33 cases in the control group.1.Before treatment,basic datas of patients in both groups including age,sex,course of the disease,VAS,PQSI and SAS were basically identical,and therefore they were comparable.2.After the treatment,VAS scores,PQSI scores,SAS scores and the total effective rate of both groups were superior to those before the treatment(P<0.05).The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),indicating that to some certain extent,both therapies are effective in reducing pain,improving sleep quality and mood.After the treatment,both groups have significant differences in PQSI scores and SAS scores(P<0.05),but the treatment group have more significant effect in improving sleep quality and mood.As for VAS scores and the total effective rate,there was no significant difference between two groups(P>0.05),indicating that both therapy are effective and have comparative efficiency in treating the cold-dampness shoulder back Myofascial pain syndrome.ConclusionThe therapy "thermosensitive moxibustion combined with acupuncture" is not superior to the therapy "moxibustion combined with acupuncture" in therapeutic effect.However,compared to the moxibustion combined withacupuncture,thermosensitive moxibustion combined with acupuncture shows better performance in improving sleep quality and mood.
