針刺治療對(duì)創(chuàng)傷性脊髓損傷二便功能障礙的臨床研究針刺治療對(duì)創(chuàng)傷性脊髓損傷二便功能障礙的臨床研究

摘要：本研究旨在探討針刺治療對(duì)創(chuàng)傷性脊髓損傷（SCI）二便功能障礙的療效及作用機(jī)制。選取80例SCI患者進(jìn)行隨機(jī)分組治療，其中針刺組40例，接受針刺治療；對(duì)照組40例，接受經(jīng)典保守治療。兩組患者治療前后及治療6個(gè)月后進(jìn)行排便序數(shù)評(píng)分（BSFS）評(píng)價(jià)，同時(shí)評(píng)價(jià)治療過程中的疼痛評(píng)分（VAS），膀胱無(wú)感覺評(píng)價(jià)（CPT），外括約肌電圖評(píng)價(jià)（EMG）以及療效評(píng)價(jià)。結(jié)果表明，針刺組BSFS評(píng)價(jià)在治療6個(gè)月后得到顯著改善（P<0.05），相較于對(duì)照組有明顯優(yōu)勢(shì)；同時(shí)，針刺組患者疼痛評(píng)分、CPT評(píng)價(jià)、EMG評(píng)價(jià)均有顯著改善（P<0.05），療效評(píng)價(jià)優(yōu)于對(duì)照組。本研究初步提示，針刺治療可改善SCI患者的二便功能障礙，且具有顯著的療效優(yōu)勢(shì)。
