电针为主治疗颞下颌关节紊乱综合征30例疗效观察

目的：观察电针为主治疗颞下颌关节紊乱综合征（ TMJDS）的临床疗效。方法将60例颞下颌关节紊乱综合征患者随机分为2组。治疗组30例采用电针为主治疗，对照组30例采用普通针刺治疗。2组均10 d为1个疗程，2个疗程后统计临床疗效，并采用视觉模拟评分法（ VAS）观察2组疼痛情况。结果治疗组总有效率86．67％，对照组总有效率70．00％，2组比较差异有统计学意义（P＜0．05），治疗组疗效优于对照组。2组治疗后VAS疼痛评分均下降（P＜0．05），治疗组下降优于对照组（P＜0．05）。结论电针为主治疗TMJDS疗效确切。

Objective To investigate the curative effect of electroacupuncture on temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome .Methods 60 cases of temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group ,30 cases each group .The treatment group received electroacupuncture and the control group was treated with traditional acupuncture .The course was ten dags in two groups .The patients were e-valuated before and after two courses of treatment through Visual Analogue Scale （ VAS） .The therapeutic effects were also evaluated after two courses of treatment .Results The total effective rate was 86.67% in the treatment group, and 70.00%in the control group.Statistical analysis showed there was a significant difference between two groups （P＆lt;0.05）.The values of VAS in both groups significantly reduced after two courses of treatment respectively （P＆lt;0.05）. The values of VAS in the treatment group reduced more significantly than those in the control group （P＆lt;0.05）.Con-clusion The curative effect of Electroacupuncture is definite on temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome .
