| ObjectiveThrough the clinical study of postherpetic neuralgia(PHN)by acupuncture therapy of strengthening the body resistance and dredging collaterals,observe the clinical effect of warm acupuncture moxibustion Qihai,Zusanli,Sanyinjiao combined with swing moxibustion and pricking bloodletting therapy on PHN,and with conventional acupuncture(thorn and acupuncture Jiaji points)therapy,provide a certain clinical basis for the treatment of PHN by acupuncture therapy of strengthening the body resistance and dredging collaterals,provide clinical application for reducing patient suffering and Clinical application range.Methods62 patients who met the study were included in the study.They were divided into treatment group(group A)and control group(group B)by completely random grouping.There were 31 cases in each group.The treatment group gives the treatment of"acupuncture therapy of strengthening the body resistance and dredging collaterals”,namely warm needle,ashi point swing moxibustion and pricking bloodletting therapy and the control group was treated with "thorn and acupuncture at Jiaji points".The two groups were once every other day,seven times for a course of treatment,and two days off after the end of one course treatment,two courses were needed at the end of treatment.The Short-form Me Gill Pain Questionnaire(SF-MPQ),7 Item Generalized Anxiety Disorder(GAD-7),and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)were used before and after treatment in both groups.The patients were followed up for 30 days after the end of treatment.Establish a data database and analyze it using SPSS23.0 software package.Results(1)In 62 patients,1 patient was removed during the treatment,1 patient was excluded,and 30 patients in the treatment group and the control group in the end;(2)Clinical efficacy:The treatment rate was 76.67%,the total effective rate was 97.67%;control group:the treatment rate was 40.00%,the total effective rate was 83.33%.After testing,P<0.05,the difference was statistically significant.the clinical effect of group A was better than the ohter group;(3)In the two groups,the pain relief,improvement of sleep quality,and anxiety relief were compared:The scores of the two groups were compared before and after treatment,P<0.05,there was significant difference;after treatment between the two groups,P<0.05,the therapeutic effect of group A was significantly better than that of group B;(4)Patients who were cured,markedly effective and effective in the two groups were selected and their recurrence rate was followed up once after 30 days of treatment.After statistical analysis,P<0.05,the difference was statistically significant.The recurrence rate of group A was lower than that of group B;(5)During the acupuncture treatment,one patient was with fainting only once,which was mild,and the other patients had no adverse reactions.After analysis,P>0.05,the safety difference was not statistically significant.(6)According to the comparison of compliance,one person in each group stopped the observation.After statistical treatment,P>0.05,the difference was not statistically significant.Conclusion(1)Both groups of treatments were effective,but“acupuncture therapy of strengthening the body resistance and dredging collaterals”was better than ordinary acupuncture in the point of relieving pain,relieving anxiety and improving sleep quality;(2)Follow-up the patients recurrence rate after 1 month,acupuncture therapy of strengthening the body resistance and dredging collaterals was better in maintaining the efficacy;(3)Acupuncture therapy of strengthening the body resistance and dredging collaterals is effective and lasting,safe and has no side effects,and is worthy of clinical application and promotion. |
