  • Effect of Mongolian medicine fumigation combined with sciatic nerve and rectal probe pelvic floor electrical stimulation on muscle spasticity of cervical spinal cord injury

    ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Mongolian medicine fumigation combined with sciatic nerve and rectal probe electrical stimulation on muscle spasticity of spinal cord injury.MethodsBetween January 2012 and January 2018, a total of 65 patients with muscle spasticity after spinal cord injury were randomly divided into two group: the observation group (32 cases) and the control group (33 cases). The patients in the observation group were treated with Mongolian medicine (Wu Wei Gan Lu-Decoction) fumigation combined with sciatic nerve and rectal probe electrical stimulation, while the patients in the control group were treated with medicine, physical therapy, and exercise therapy. Both two groups were treated for 8 weeks. The patients were scored with Ashworth Score, American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) score, and Barthel Index before and after treatment.ResultsThe pre-treatment ASIA scores (light touch sensation, pain sensation, and muscle strength) and Barthel Index of the two groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The post-treatment ASIA scores and Barthel Index of both groups performed significantly better than the pre-treatment levels (P<0.05). The post-treatment ASIA muscle strength item was 58.55±10.83 in the observation group and 50.69±11.32 in the control group (P<0.05). The post-treatment Barthel Index was 74.22±11.53 in the observation group and 68.46±9.92 in the control group (P<0.05). The effective rate in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (84.4% vs. 60.6%, P<0.05). Conclusion Mongolian medicine fumigation combined with sciatic nerve and rectal probe electric stimulation could improve the muscle spasticity of spinal cord injury and patients’ ability of daily life effectively.
