It not only achieves a long- term acupoint stimulation, but also reduces the visiting frequencies and pain of patients^[1].

It often occurs in the areas innervated by intercostal, cervical, trigeminal, and lumbosacral nerves. As a feature of this disease, neuralgia happens before or together with the rash, radiating along the innervated areas. Elderly patients commonly suffer from a long-time residual neuralgia展开更多

It often happens before or during period, occasionally after period, and manifests lower abdominal pain, crampy or distending, which may radiate to lumbosacral region, inner thigh and perianal region. Co-occurring symptoms may include pale complexion, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and aversion to cold in the whole body or concentrated in lower abdomen. Severe pain can cause prostration or even fainting. Menstrual pain commonly lasts for several hours or 1-2 d, and relieves when menstrual blood flows smoothly.展开更多
文摘目的观察药线点灸联合针挑治疗坐骨神经痛的临床疗效及对患者血清相关炎症因子白介素-6(interleukin-6,IL-6)、白介素-1β(interleukin-1β,IL-1β)和肿瘤坏死因子-α(tumor necrosis factor-α,TNF-α)水平的影响。方法将72例坐骨神经痛患者随机分为对照组和联合组,每组36例。联合组采用药线点灸联合针挑疗法治疗,对照组予口服吲哚美辛片和速效坐骨神经痛丸治疗。观察并比较两组临床疗效、疼痛视觉模拟量表(visual analog scale,VAS)评分、腰椎功能评分以及IL-6、IL-1β和TNF-α水平。比较两组不良反应发生率。结果联合组治愈率高于对照组(P<0.05)。与对照组治疗后比较,联合组治疗后疼痛VAS评分和腰椎功能评分均降低(P<0.05)。联合组治疗后血清IL-6、IL-1β和TNF-α水平低于对照组(P<0.05)。联合组不良反应发生率低于对照组(P<0.05)。结论药线点灸联合针挑治疗可有效缓解坐骨神经痛,疗效优于口服药物治疗,这可能与调节炎症因子IL-6、IL-1β和TNF-α水平相关,且不良反应较少。
