[Effects on vibration perception threshold and the quality of life in the patients of high-risk diabetic foot treated with the pestle needling therapy].
摘要
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of the pestle needling therapy on the vibration perception threshold (VPT) and the quality of life (QOL) in the patients of high-risk diabetic foot. METHODS: , Zusanli (ST 36), Yongquan (KI 1), Sanyinjiao (SP 6) and Taixi (KI 3). The intervention with the pestle needling therapy was given once every day, consecutively for 4 weeks. The follow-up visit was conducted in 3 months and 6 months after the intervention. Vibration perception threshold (VPT) was observed before and after intervention in the two groups. Separately, before intervention, at the end of intervention, 3 months after intervention and 6 months after intervention, the type 2 diabetes mellitus quality life scale (DMQLS), the revised edition was adopted to compare the QOL between the two groups. The effects were evaluated in the two groups. RESULTS: <0.05). CONCLUSION: The pestle needling therapy reduces the foot VPT and improves the sensory nerve function of the foot and the QOL in the patients of high-risk diabetic foot.
