改良针刀手术加腕管阻滞治疗腕管综合征的临床观察

目的:观察改良针刀法加腕管阻滞治疗腕管综合征的疗效。方法:26例患者共28腕接受改良针刀法治疗,同时行腕管阻滞;14例患者共16腕接受传统针刀法治疗,同时行腕管阻滞;15例患者共15腕仅接受腕管阻滞治疗。对3组患者予以疗效评价及治疗后的随访。结果:改良针刀组术后总有效率和术后1年复发率分别为85.7%和20.8%。传统针刀组术后总有效率和术后1年复发率分别为81.3%和38.5%。腕管阻滞治疗组术后总有效率和术后1年复发率分别为46.7%和85.7%。改良针刀组和传统针刀组术后疗效与复发率的比较无统计学差异,较腕管阻滞治疗组均有明显改善(P<0.05)。改良针刀组未发现与手术操作相关的并发症和损伤。结论:改良针刀手术易于操作,且疗效确切,是治疗腕管综合征的较好方法。

Efficacy of modified acupotome combined with blocking therapy in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome

Objective: To observe the efficacy of modified acupotome combined with blocking therapy in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Methods: Fifty-five patients with CTS were divided into three groups, which were modified acupotome group including 26 CTS patients with 28 lesions treated by modified acupotome combined with blocking therapy, traditional acupotome group including 14 CTS patients with 16 lesions treated by traditional acupotome combined with blocking therapy, and blocking therapy group including 15 CTS patients with 15 lesions only treated by local blocking. The treatment outcome and one-year recurrence rate were observed. Results: The response rate and one-year recurrence rate after operation in the modified acupotome group were 85.7% (24/28) and 20.8% (5/24) respectively, which had no significant differences as compared with 81.3% (13/16) and 38.5% (5/13) in the traditional acupotome group. The response rate and one-year recurrence rate after operation in the above two groups were both improved significantly as compared with those in the blocking therapy group which were 46.7% (7/15) and 85.7% (6/7) respectively. There were no acupotome-related adverse effects and injuries observed in the modified acupotome group. Conclusion: The modified acupotome is a considerable treatment method for CTS with respect to its simple manipulation and high effectiveness.
