ABSTRACT

To observe the clinical effect of ultrasound-guided blade acupuncture in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) in the lumbar buttocks. We selected 60 patients with lumbar buttocks myofascial pain syndrome in the Department of Orthopaedic Spine Diseases, Xi'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and randomly divided them into a treatment group and a control group, with 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with ultrasound-guided lower edge acupuncture for MTrPs, and the control group was treated with ordinary acupuncture. The VAS scores, Young's modulus (E) at MTrPs, and MTrPs were observed before treatment, after the first treatment and after the end of the course of treatment. The strain ratio (SR) of normal tissue at the same level. Resultly, the comparison between the two groups of patients before and after VAS treatment had significant statistical differences, P<0.05; the Young's modulus at MTrPs had significant statistical differences before treatment, the first treatment and after treatment, P<0.05, and the control group before treatment , There was significant statistical difference between the first treatment and after the course of treatment. Ridit analysis was used to compare the two groups, P<0.05, there was a statistical difference, the treatment group was better than the control group; MTrPs and the same level of muscle tissue strain ratio (SR), the treatment group Before treatment, compared with the first treatment and after the course of treatment, there was a statistical difference, P<0.05, and the comparison between the two groups after treatment, P<0.05, there was a statistical difference. It shows that the two groups can improve the elasticity and change the local deformation, but the curative effect of the treatment group is better than that of the control group. In conclusion, ultrasound-guided blade needle acupuncture at the trigger point for myofascial pain in the treatment of lumbar and gluteal myofascial pain syndrome can significantly improve patient symptoms, has good clinical efficacy, and promote local muscle tissue elasticity recovery, improve local tissue deformation ability and degree.
