| Purpose:To evaluate the curative effect of vernal and autumnal equinox acupoint application on fibromyalgia syndrome(FMS)by applying the vernal and autumnal equinox acupoint on fibromyalgia syndrome in patients with intervention therapy.Material and method: 1.Selected 40 cases of primary fibromyalgia syndrome patients met the inclusion criteria from the patients visit in hospital in 2017 vernal equinox.After signing the informed consent form,applied the vernal and autumnal equinox acupoint application for intervention therapy,compared the changes of the indicators before and after treatment.Finally evaluate the efficacy of the vernal and autumnal equinox acupoint application.2.Index collection: Blood routine,urine routine,liver function and renal function examination were carried out before and after each treatment to observe and record the skin conditions at the sticking place,so as to evaluate the safety of the treatment.Under the guidance of the same researcher,the fibromyalgia impact questionnaire(FIQ),the beck depression inventory(BDI),the pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI),the number of pressure point and the visual analogue scale(VAS)would be measured by the same researchers,and another researcher evaluated the score.3.Treatment method: In the treatment,attached the vernal and autumnal equinox acupoint application to the acupoint of the patient and fix.The order of application was ST36,DU14,BL13,DU3,DU4,SJ5.Each treatment time was followed by 2-4 hours,4-6 hours and 6-8 hours and the frequency of treatment was once every five days,three times per solar term.4.Statistical methods: Counted 6 times of treatment situation in two solar terms of the patients,integrated relevant data.SPSS19.0 were used for statistical process.All statistics were described by (?)±S and two-sided test was applied.The data were compared with the paired t-test when conformed to the normal distribution.The rank sum test(Wilcoxon signed rank sum test)would be used when the data were skewed distribution,P<0.015 would be considered a statistical significant difference.Compared the changes of the number of pain points,pain intensity,the quality of sleep and the state of depression of FMS patients before and after intervention therapy.Evaluated the overall improvement of FMS patients,analyze the relevance between the first four and it,and calculate the total efficiency.Results: 1.Finally,38 cases of data statistics were completed.Among them 0 case was cured,12 cases were markedly effective,19 cases were effective,7 cases were invalid,and the total effective rate was 81.58%,the differences had statistical significance.2.After the treatment of vernal and autumnal equinox acupoint application,the numbers of pressure points,VAS score,FIQ score,BDI score and PSQI score of patients were lower than before,the differences had statistical significance(P<0.05).The improvement of FIQ score,VAS score and the numbers of pressure points were better than that of BDI score and PSQI score.3.The correlation coefficient between the numbers of pressure points,VAS score,BDI score,PSQI score and FIQ score had statistical significance and there is a high correlation between VAS score and FIQ score.4.There is no adverse reaction in this study.Conclusion:Vernal equinox autumn acupoint sticking therapy has a definite effect on FMS.This method can significantly improve the condition of FMS patients,relieve pain of patients and help to alleviate sleep disorders and depression.Pain,insomnia and depression are related to the severity of FMS,and the intensity of pain is the most relevant.The acupoint application of spring equinox and autumn equinox improves the patients’ qualities of life and work with high security. |
