摘要
Objective: To observe the therapeutic efficacy of puncturing Houxi (SI 3) toward Hegu (LI 4) plus lumbar movement in treating acute lumbar sprain. Methods: A total of 212 patients with acute lumbar sprain were randomized into two groups. There were 106 subjects in the observation group who were treated with puncturing Houxi (SI 3) toward Hegu (LI 4) plus lumbar movement; the other 106 patients in the control group were treated with puncturing Houxi (SI 3) toward Hegu (LI 4) alone. Therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after 2 treatment courses. Results: The total effective rate was 95. 3% in the observation group versus 88. 7% in the control group, and the difference was statistically insignificant between the two groups (P>0. 05). However, in comparing the treatment times for achieving recovery and effectiveness, differences between the two groups were statistically significant (both P<0. 05), indicating that integrated use of acupuncture and exercise is faster in realizing therapeutic effectiveness. Conclusion: By selecting fewer acupoints, puncturing Houxi (SI 3) toward Hegu (LI 4) is effective in treating acute lumbar sprain, and with the help of lumbar movement, it can achieve even better treatment effect. © 2013 Shanghai Research Institute of Acupuncture and Meridian and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
