Description for medicine or protocol of treatment in detail:
|
Acupuncture treatment group:
(1) Point selection: Ashi Point (2 places), Chengshan, Taixi and Kunlun.
(2) Location of acupoints: refer to the National Standard of the People's Republic of China (GB/T 12346-2006) "Name and Location of Acupoints"
(3) Operation method:
Take the prone position of the patient, wipe and disinfect the acupuncture part with 75% alcohol cotton ball, and then stick the fixed pad on the acupuncture points. All the acupuncture points are operated according to the textbook Acupuncture Moxibustion Methodology edited by Lu Shoukang, using a 0.30mm*40mm acupuncture needle, stabbing 5mm-10mm straight. Except for Ashi point, the rest of the acupuncture points are sore and swollen, that is, the subjects have soreness and numbness. Chengshan, Taixi and Kunlun acupoints were subjected to small-amplitude uniform twisting manipulation for 3 times every 10 minutes, and the manipulations were performed for 3 times in 30 minutes.
Twist the handle of the needle slightly before the needle goes out, and wait for the needle to slide easily before the needle goes out. When taking out the needle, gently press the sterilized cotton ball in the left hand on the acupuncture site, twist the needle slightly in the right hand and slowly lift the needle out. After taking out the needle, press the needle hole to prevent bleeding. If heel pain occurs on one side, acupuncture on one side; If the pain occurs on both sides, acupuncture points on both sides, and select the most painful side in evaluation.
(4) Frequency, course of treatment and time: 30 minutes each time, acupuncture every other day, 3 times a week, for 4 consecutive weeks, totally 12 times.
Shallow acupuncture treatment:
1) Acupoint selection: non-acupoints beside Ashi acupoint, Chengshan acupoint, Taixi acupoint and Kunlun acupoint.
Location: Next to Ashi point: Ashi point is horizontally opened by 0.5 inches (one on the left and right sides); Beside Chengshan, the horizontal side of Chengshan point is 0.5 inches; Beside Taixi, the midpoint of the line between Taixi and Achilles tendon; Beside Kunlun, the midpoint of the line between Kunlun and Achilles tendon.
(2) Operation method: lie prone, disinfect the skin routinely, and then stick the fixing pad on the acupuncture points. Use a 0.30mm*25mm blunt needle to penetrate the fixed pad and reach the skin surface. During the period of needle retention, except for Ashi point, other points were subjected to small-scale uniform twisting manipulation for 3 times every 10 minutes, and manipulations were performed for 3 times in 30 minutes. The needle retention time, frequency, course of treatment, and needle ejection mode are the same as those of the acupuncture group.
Routine treatment group:
When the patients in this group joined the group, they were given health education to tell them to avoid the inducing factors of heel pain. During the whole experiment, once pain occurs, they should pay attention to proper rest and avoid aggravating factors. If the pain is too heavy for the patients to bear, they can use the analgesic drugs provided by the researchers and record them truthfully. At the end of the trial, if the condition does not improve, patients will be provided with 12 free acupuncture treatments for 4 weeks (acupuncture scheme is the same as acupuncture group).
