The control group was intervened by oral administration of Meloxicam tablets, 7.5 mg for each dose, once each day. The observation group was additionally intervened by tuina with intensive stimulation at tender points based on the treatment given to the control group, once each day. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after successive 14-day treatment for the two groups. Results： The total effective rate was 92.4% in the observation group, significantly higher than 81.0% in the control group（P〈0.05）. The visual analogue scale（VAS） scores dropped significantly after the treatment in both groups（both P〈0.01）, and the VAS score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group（P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Tuina with intensive stimulation at tender points plus oral administration of Meloxicam tablets can produce a more significant efficacy in treating CIDH than taking Meloxicam alone, thus worth promoting in clinic.展开更多

Additionally, there are a number of less frequent neurological manifestations of infection with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with case reports suggesting an association with the Guillain-Barre syndrome. Most patients present with the typical upper respiratory symptoms in association with these neurological symptoms. We present a case of an unvaccinated gentleman with none of the typical respiratory symptoms of COVID-19 who presented with the Guillain Barre syndrome and myalgia. His symptoms settled following treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins. This case highlights the importance of testing for COVID-19 in patients without typical symptoms but who present with neurological illness and supports the use of intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.展开更多
