Clinical Observation of Addition and Subtraction Therapy of Shentong Zhuyutang to Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) with Stagnation of Blood Stasis
To observe the short and long term effect of addition and subtraction therapy of Shentong Zhuyutang to myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) with stagnation of blood stasis and to investigate its mechanism of action.
Method:
2
One hundred and forty-eight eligible patients were randomly divided into control group (73 cases) and observation group (75 cases) by random number table. Patients in both groups got electroacupuncture treatment. Patients in control group additionally got Yaotong capsules
4 grains/time
3 times/day. Patients in observation group additionally got addition and subtraction therapy of Shentong Zhuyutang
1 dose/day. The treatment was continued for 6 weeks in both groups
and 16 weeks follow-up was recorded. Before treatment

scores of visual analogue scale (VAS) was graded. Before and after treatment
scores of JOA

and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) were graded. Levels of thromboxane 2 (TXB

the recurrence was recorded and followed up.
Result:
2
By rank sum test
the clinical efficacy in observation group was better than that in control group (

Conclusion:
2
Based on acupuncture treatment
addition and subtraction therapy of Shentong Zhuyutang can relieve the pain caused by myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) with stagnation of blood stasis
