Personalized Prevention and Treatment Strategies for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Via a Comprehensive Health Management Platform

The Individualized Stepwise Treatment Mode of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Spinal cord injury (SCI), leads to functional deficits and complications like neurogenic bladder and deep vein thrombosis, imposing a global annual financial burden. This trial aims to compares Jiaji electroacupuncture (JEA) and scalp electroacupuncture (SEA) in SCI rehabilitation. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) compared JEA and SEA in SCI rehabilitation.

This study employed a randomized controlled clinical trial method to compare the effects of JEA and SEA interventions on the clinical outcomes of patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI). The findings revealed that, compared to SEA, JEA intervention demonstrated superior performance in improving patients' ASIA grading, motor function scores, light touch sensation scores, pinprick sensation scores, and modified Barthel index. This indicates that JEA has a significant advantage in promoting the enhancement of ASIA grading, recovery of motor and sensory function scores, and improvement in daily living activities among TSCI patients. The conclusions of this study further substantiate the positive role of JEA in ameliorating motor function, sensory function scores, and daily living conditions in patients with spinal cord injury.
