摘要
背景与目的:腰背痛(LBP)是一个重大的全球性公共卫生问题。有证据表明,腰背痛还与认知、心理和生活方式等因素有关。傅氏皮下针刺疗法(FSN)用于治疗肌肉骨骼问题已有多年历史。这项前瞻性随机对照试验旨在评估傅氏皮下针刺治疗慢性非特异性枸杞痛患者的临床疗效和避免恐惧的信念:90名慢性非特异性腰腿痛患者被随机分为FSN组和传统针灸(TA)组(n = 45),在2021年12月至2023年3月期间连续三天接受FSN或TA治疗。主要结果是用视觉模拟量表(VAS)测量疼痛强度。次要结果为躯干伸肌耐力(TEE)、腰部活动范围(ROM)和恐惧避免信念问卷(FABQ)。结果测量在首次治疗前和每次治疗后进行。治疗一个月后对 VAS 和 FABQ 评分进行随访评估:结果:与 TA 组相比,FSN 组在干预后每个时间点的 VAS 和 FABQ 评分都明显较低(P < 0.01)。FSN 组的 TEE 和腰部 ROM 评分高于 TA 组(P < 0.01)。重复测量方差分析(ANOVA)显示,两组的 VAS、TEE、腰部 ROM 和 FABQ 均有显著的时间效应、组别效应和交互效应(PC结论:FSN 比 TA 更适合腰椎间盘突出症患者:本研究表明,在治疗慢性非特异性腰痛方面,FSN 在临床疗效和避免恐惧信念方面优于 TA。FSN可作为一种有效的临床治疗方法。
Effects of Fu’s subcutaneous needling on clinical efficacy and psychological cognitive characteristics in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain: A randomized controlled trial
Background and purpose
Low back pain (LBP) is a major global public health problem. Evidence shows that LBP is also related to cognitive, psychological, and lifestyle factors. Fu’s subcutaneous needling (FSN) has been used for the treatment of musculoskeletal problems for many years. This prospective randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and fear avoidance beliefs of FSN in the treatment of patients with chronic non-specific LBP.
Material and methods
Ninety participants with chronic non-specific LBP were randomly divided into the FSN and the traditional acupuncture (TA) groups (n = 45) and received either FSN or TA treatment for three consecutive days from December 2021 to March 2023. The primary outcome was pain intensity measured by the visual analogue scale (VAS). Secondary outcomes were trunk extensor endurance (TEE), lumbar range of motion (ROM), and the Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ). Outcome measurements were made before the first treatment and after each treatment. Follow-up assessments of VAS and FABQ scores were conducted one month after treatment.
Results
The FSN group had significantly lower VAS and FABQ scores at each time point after intervention compared to the TA group (P < 0.01). The scores of TEE and lumbar ROM were higher in the FSN group than those in the TA group (P < 0.01). Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed significant time effects, group effects, and interaction effects for VAS, TEE, lumbar ROM, and FABQ in both groups (P < 0.01). One month after treatment, the FSN group had significantly lower VAS and FABQ scores compared to the TA group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
This study suggested that FSN was superior to TA in terms of clinical efficacy and fear-avoidance beliefs in the treatment of chronic non-specific LBP. FSN could be used as an effective clinical treatment.
