Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture combined with Baduanjin on postpartum low back pain(PLBP)and its influence on core muscles.Methods From March 2025 to October 2025,56 patients with PLBP treated at the Rehabilitation Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were enrolled and randomly assigned to a treatment group or a control group,with 28 cases in each group.Both groups received health education about PLBP.The control group received Baduanjin alone,whereas the treatment group received electroacupuncture combined with Baduanjin.Patients in both groups were evaluated using the numerical rating scale(NRS),oswestry disability index(ODI),active straight leg raise(ASLR)fatigue test,and pressure biofeedback unit(PBU)test.Results After treatment,both groups showed a marked reduction in NRS and ODI scores compared with baseline(P<0.001),and the scores in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The ASLR fatigue duration and the PBU decrease value increased significantly in both groups after treatment(P<0.001),and both measures in the treatment group were greater than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture combined with Baduanjin could effectively alleviate pain,enhance lumbar function,and improve daily living quality in PLBP patients.The mechanism might be associated with improving the function of core stabilizing muscles.
Objective To establish a high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)method for determining the content of 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid and Forsythin in Xiao'er Ganmao granules,and to analyze these two components using Chemometrics.Methods For 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid determination,C18 column(4.6 mm×250 mm,5 µm)was used at a column temperature of 40 ℃and a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min.The mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.1%phosphoric acid solution with gradient elution,and the detection wavelength was set at 327 nm.For Forsythin determination,the mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.2%phosphoric acid solution with gradient elution,and the detection wavelength was 203 nm.The quality of 32 batches of Xiao'er Ganmao granules was evaluated by combining hierarchical cluster analysis(HCA),principal component analysis(PCA),orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA),and comprehensive quality index(CQI)construction.Results The methodological validation for the content determination was satisfactory.The 32 batches of samples were clustered into 3 groups.Variable importance in projection(VIP)values indicated that both components contributed equally to sample differentiation.CQI evaluation revealed significant differences in quality between samples from two manufacturers.Conclusion The established method was rapid and accurate.Combined with Chemometrics,it could be used for the quality evaluation of Xiao'er Ganmao granules,providing a reference for improving the overall quality of the product and establishing standards.
Urinary incontinence is one of the common complications of ischemic stroke,which seriously affects the quality of life of patients.At present,the routine treatment and nursing of urinary incontinence in ischemic stroke at home and abroad mainly include catheterization,drug treatment,bladder function training,pelvic floor muscle training,etc.,which have a certain therapeutic effect in the acute phase,but the effect in the recovery of bladder function is not ideal and easy to cause related complications.In recent years,traditional Chinese medicine has achieved certain results in the treatment of this disease.Among them,moxibustion is widely used in clinical practice because of its outstanding curative effect and no obvious side effects.This article reviewed the research on moxa-wool moxibustion intervention for urinary incontinence in patients with ischemic stroke,so as to provide references for clinical intervention of this disease.
Objective To investigate the effect of acupuncture-moxibustion and tuina combined with rehabilitation training in children with global developmental delay(GDD).Methods A total of 74 children diagnosed with GDD and admitted to Xinzheng Huaxin Minsheng Hospital from February 2022 to December 2024 were retrospectively selected and divided into a control group(37 cases)and an observation group(37 cases)using the random number table method.The control group received traditional rehabilitation training,while the observation group received acupuncture-moxibustion and tuina therapy combined with rehabilitation training.The traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,cognitive function,behavioral function,and activities of daily living were compared between the two groups.Results After 6 months of treatment,the TCM syndrome scores,scores of the Chinese Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised,scores of the Infant-Junior High School Student Social Life Ability Scale,total scores of the Gesell Developmental Scale,and total effective rate of treatment in the observation group were all superior to those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture-moxibustion and tuina combined with rehabilitation training was superior to traditional rehabilitation care in the treatment of pediatric GDD and possessed favorable clinical value.
External therapies of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)based on the tendon meridian theory have unique advantages in the treatment of shoulder pain.This review summarized the tendon meridian theoretical system and the pathogenesis of shoulder pain as"tendon bi",and reviewed the clinical application characteristics of external therapies such as acupuncture,moxa-wool moxibustion,tuina,and cupping.Studies showed that external therapies guided by this theory can effectively relieve shoulder pain,improve joint function,and have the advantages of flexible operation and high safety.The tendon meridian theory provided an accurate basis for lesion location and staged treatment in the external therapy of shoulder pain.It has a definite curative effect and is worthy of clinical promotion,while also offering an effective approach for the integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment of shoulder pain.
