Abstract:

Objective

To observe the effect of acupuncture on meridian sinew on lower limb function in iliotibial band syndrome.

Methods

A total of 70 patients with iliotibial band syndrome who visited the outpatient department of shuangliu district traditional Chinese medicine hospital from May 2020 to May 2022 were selected as the research objects, and they were randomly devided into the experimental group (35 cases) and the control group (35 cases) according to the random number table method. The control group was given diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets, 75 mg, once a day, and the experimental group was given acupuncture treatment on meridian sinew for 30 minutes after neutral reinforcement and reduction once a day, both groups were treated for 14 days. After treatment, the clinical efficacy, pain visual analog scale (VAS) score, Ameican knee society knee score(KSS) and recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.

Results

In the experimental group, 22 cases were cured, 11 cases were effective, and 2 cases were ineffective. The total effective rate was 94.29% (33/35). The control group had 15 cured cases, 10 effective cases, and 10 ineffective cases, with a total effective rate of 71.43% (25/35). The total effective rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group(χ2=6.437, P<0.05). The VAS score of the experimental group was (2.47±1.10)points, lower than that of the control group [(4.66±1.05)points] (t=8.520, P<0.05); The KSS score of the experimental group was (70.48±5.16) points, which was higher than that of the control group [(63.76±5.20) points] (t=5.427, P<0.05). The recurrence rate in the experimental group was 8.57% (3/35), while the recurrence rate in the control group was 28.57% (10/35). The recurrence rate in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group(χ2=4.629, P<0.05).

Conclusion

The application of acupuncture on meridian sinew to treat patients with iliotibial band syndrome can help alleviate pain, improve lower limb function, reduce disease recurrence rate, and achieve more ideal treatment effectiveness.
