Clinical Study on Combination Use of Modified Taohe Chengqi Decoction and Pelvic Floor Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation and Massotherapy for Myofascial Pelvic Pain Syndrome in Female
Abstract:Objective:To observe the clinical effect of the combination use of modified Taohe Chengqi Decoction and pelvic floor neuromuscular electrical stimulation and massotherapy on myofascial pelvic pain syndrome (MPPS) of damp-heat-stasis accumulation type in female. Methods: A total of 120 MPPS female patients of damp-heat-stasis accumulation type were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number table method, with 60 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with pelvic floor neuromuscular electrical stimulation and massotherapy,and the observation group was additionally treated with modified Taohe Chengqi Decoction. Both groups were treated for three weeks. The scores of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pelvic pain and myofascial pelvic pain, scores of Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores before and after treatment in the two groups were evaluated, and the clinical effects were evaluated. Results: After treatment, the total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The VAS scores of pelvic pain in the two groups were reduced when compared with those before treatment (P<0.05). The VAS score of pelvic pain in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The VAS scores of myofascial pelvic pain in the two groups were downregulated when compared with those before treatment (P<0.05). The VAS score of myofascial pelvic pain in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The FSFI scores in the two groups were elevated when compared with those before treatment (P<0.05). The FSFI score in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The TCM syndrome scores in the two groups were dwindled when compared with those before treatment (P<0.05). The TCM syndrome score in the observation group were lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion:The combination use of modified Taohe Chengqi Decoction and pelvic floor neuromuscular electrical stimulation and massotherapy for MPPS female patients with damp-heat-stasis accumulation type is better than that of electrical stimulation and massotherapy in alleviating pelvic pain,promoting the recovery of pelvic floor function and improving the quality of sexual life,and the clinical effect is better.
