ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of wheat grain-sized cone moxibustion combined with fire needle therapy in the treatment of dorsal wrist ganglion (DWG).MethodsA total of 63 patients with DWG were randomized into a treatment group (n=32) and a control group (n=31). Cases in the control group were treated with fire needle therapy. Based on the therapy given to the control group, cases in the treatment group were additionally given wheat grain-sized cone moxibustion therapy. Then the therapeutic efficacies and recurrence rate were evaluated.ResultsAfter treatment, the overall effective rate was 93.8% in the treatment group, versus 77.4% in the control group, and the between-group comparison showed a statistical significance (P<0.05); 6 months after the treatment, the recurrence rate in the treatment group was obviously lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionThe long-term and short-term effects of wheat grain-sized cone moxibustion combined with fire needle therapy in the treatment of DWG are better than those of fire needle therapy alone, and therefore, worth popularizing.摘要目的观察麦粒灸结合火针治疗腕背部腱鞘囊肿的临床疗效。方法将63例腕背部腱鞘囊肿患者随机分为治疗组(32例)和对照组(31例), 对照组予火针治疗, 治疗组在对照组的基础上加用麦粒灸治疗。观察两组治疗后的疗效及复发率。结果治疗组总有效率93.8%, 对照组为77.4%, 组间总有效率差异有统计学意义(P<0.05); 治疗后6个月内治疗组复发率显著低于对照组, 组间差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论麦粒灸结合火针治疗腕背部腱鞘囊肿近期疗效和远期疗效均优于单纯火针治疗, 值得临床推广应用。
