To explore factors influencing the curative effect of scraping therapies (at acupoints or along channels) and to determine the relationship of scraping site and strength to curative effect.
Two hundred and ten patients with lumbar muscle strain were divided into five groups with 42 patients each. The "scraping therapy at acupoint until appearance of skin eruptions" and "scraping therapy along channel until apperance of skin eruptions" groups were treated with a 4-day course. The "scraping therapy at acupoint without appearance of skin eruptions", "scraping therapy along channel without appearance of skin eruptions", and acupuncture groups were treated with a 2-day course. The five groups were treated with seven courses. The visual analog scale (VAS), oswestry disability index (ODI), and lumbago scores were recorded in the five groups before treatment, after each treatment, and in follow-up visits one month and three months after treatment.
VAS, ODI, and lumbago scores after treat ment improved in the five groups (P < 0.01). There was a statistical difference (P < 0.01) in the change of VAS scores by appearance of skin eruptions and scraping site.
Scraping therapy can effectively alleviate lumbago symptoms. The appearance of skin eruptions and scraping therapy along channels can enhance the curative effect of scraping therapy.
探讨刮痧疗法(穴位或经络)疗效的影响因素,确定刮痧部位和力度与疗效的关系。
将 210 例腰肌劳损患者分为 5 组,每组 42 例。“穴位刮痧至出疹”和“经络刮痧至出疹”组疗程为 4 天。“穴位刮痧不出疹”、“经络刮痧不出疹”和针刺组疗程为 2 天。5 组均接受 7 个疗程的治疗。在治疗前、每次治疗后以及治疗后 1 个月和 3 个月进行视觉模拟评分(VAS)、Oswestry 残疾指数(ODI)和腰痛评分。
5 组治疗后 VAS、ODI 和腰痛评分均有改善(P<0.01)。出疹和刮痧部位对 VAS 评分的变化有统计学差异(P<0.01)。
刮痧疗法能有效缓解腰痛症状。出疹和经络刮痧可增强刮痧疗法的疗效。
