Efficacy observation of tuina therapy for fibromyalgia syndrome
Tóm tắt
To observe the efficacy of tuina manipulations for fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Sixty eligible FMS patients were randomized into two groups, 30 in each group. Patients in the observation group were intervened by tuina manipulations to the corresponding segment of the spine based on the detection of disorders of the spine-related bones and tendons; patients in the control group were directed to practice functional exercises. Before and after intervention, the fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ) and visual analogue scale (VAS) were adopted for evaluation. After intervention, the FIQ and VAS scores dropped significantly in both groups (all P<0.05), and there were significant differences between the two groups (both P<0.05). The total effective rate was 86.7% in the observation group versus 63.3% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Spinal tuina manipulations are effective and safe in treating FMS, for significantly promoting the quality of life of the FMS patients.
