Clinical study on treatment of spinal cord injury by oral administration of traditional Chinese herbal medicine combined with transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation based on the theory of warming kidneys and unblocking Du channel
Objective,2,To study the clinical efficacy of oral administration of traditional Chinese herbal medicines (TCHMs) combined with transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) in the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI) based on the theory of warming kidneys and unblocking Du channel.,Methods,2,Totally 100 SCI patients were randomly divided into a treatment group (,n,=50) and a control group (,n,=50). The control group was given basic treatment and rehabilitation training, while the treatment group was treated with oral administration of TCHMs plus TEAS based on the theory of warming kidneys and unblocking Du channel besides the therapeutic measures of the control group. The duration of treatment for both groups was 12 weeks. The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale grade, spinal cord neurological function scores, evoked potentials, and changes in nerve-related growth factors were compared between the two groups, and the incidence of complications was also observed.,Results,2,①During the trial, there were 2 drop-out cases in the treatment group and 4 drop-out cases in the control group; Finally 94 cases completed the trial, with 48 cases in the treatment group and 46 cases in the control group. ②After treatment, the percentage of grade D and E evaluated with ASIA impairment scale was higher in the treatment group than that in the control group (,P,<,0.05). ③After treatment, pain score, tactile score, and motor score were higher in the treatment group than those in the control group (,P,<,0.05). ④After treatment, the somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) amplitude and motor evoked potentials (MEP) amplitude were higher in the treatment group than those in the control group (,P,<,0.05). ⑤After treatment, the serum levels of nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) were higher in the treatment group than those in the control group (,P,<,0.05). ⑥The incidence of complications in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (,P,<,0.05).,Conclusion,2,Oral administration of TCHMs combined with TEAS based on the theory of warming kidneys and unblocking Du channel is effective in the treatment of SCI, which can improve spinal nerve function and reduce the incidence of complications. The mechanism may be related to the enhancement of spinal cord conduction and the promotion of nerve cell repair and regeneration.
