The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of angiopuncture therapy in pain alleviation for postoperative pain patients. The study involved patients aged 20-65 with acute foot and ankle trauma and pain after surgery. Physicians used handheld ultrasound Doppler to measure perforators, puncture participants with a filiform needle, and monitor pain scores and heart rate data before and after acupuncture. The duration of therapy was 20 minutes per day for 72 hours, with pain measured using the numerical rating scale. The study aimed to compare the outcomes before and after angiopuncture.
In order to give therapeutic therapy, solid filiform needles are inserted into the skin during dry needling (DN), traditional acupuncture (TA), and western medical acupuncture (WMA). DN is a treatment used to treat painful musculoskeletal illnesses, whereas TA and WMA have a wider variety of indications, including musculoskeletal discomfort, gastrointestinal problems, and neurological concerns. While DN implants are used in trigger points, acupuncture is for acupoints.
In addition, common methods include injections of painkillers, oral medications, and nerve blocks. Angiopuncture therapy is being used for the first time as a method of pain management in this article. The aim was to investigate if skin perforating needling therapy could alleviate postoperative pain in patients.
Patients with recent foot and ankle surgery who have had acute foot and ankle injuries and pain. Doctors measured three to four perforators at the proximal end of the trauma site using a handheld ultrasound Doppler, punctured the perforators for 15 minutes with a filiform needle (size: 0.18mm gauge * 25mm length), and then monitored the patient's pain level and heart rate data before and after acupuncture Variety. If pain relief is possible, they'll do it. Risks include becoming more painful.
To create numbers, investigators employed an internet table generator. Despite having just one group, investigators compared the results of angiopuncture before and after therapy lasts for 20 minutes per day for 72 hours. Numeric rating scale (NRS) pain score at baseline: 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours.
