Fu RY, Wang YL, Gu ZZ, Wang BH, Zhu Q, Li Y, Wang EP. [Clinical

observation on external humeral epicondylitis treated with back-

rotation traction] [Article in Chinese] Zhongguo Gu Shang. 2009

Feb;22(2):102-3. Huzhou City TCM Hospital, Huzhou 313000, Zhejiang,

China. ruiyang368 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical effect

of manipulation on external humeral epicondylitis, and to explore the

functional mechanism and ideal treatment. METHODS: Eighty-six

patients who had been treated with acupuncture, obturation and needle-

knife were divided into routine group and treatment group randomly.

In routine group, there were 42 cases (male 13, female 29, means 40.8

years); and in treatment group there were 44 cases (male 16, female

28, means 41.2 years). There's no further treatment for the routine

group after the therapy above, while the treatment group was added

with back-rotation traction manipulation. RESULTS: Taking Verhaar

therapy effect appraisal system of tennis-ball elbow to evaluate

elbow function. After 7 days of therapy, the results were excellent

in 13 cases, good in 16, fair in 4, poor in 9 in the routine group;

and excellent in 38, good in 4 and fair in 2 in treatment group; and

the effect in the treatment group were better than that of the

routine group (P < 0.010). Half a year later, in the routine group 38

cases recurrenced and in the treatment group 10 cases recurrenced.

CONCLUSION: Making manipulation after routine acupuncture, local

obturation and needle-knife has active meaning to remove trauma

inflammation, prevent re-conglutination, promote recovery and prevent

recurrence. Publication Types: English Abstract PMID: 19281013
