Abstract：Objective To explore the effects of modified Yang-needling combined with rehabilitation training on hip function and pain in patients with piriformis syndrome.Methods A total of 180 patients with piriformis syndrome treated from December 2020 to December 2021 were collected and divided into modified Yang-needling group(n=90)and ordinary acupuncture group(n=90)by random number table method.The modified Yang-needling group was treated with modified Yang-needling combined with rehabilitation training,while the ordinary acupuncture group was treated with ordinary acupunc-ture combined with rehabilitation training.The clinical efficacy,hip function,pain,clinical symptom score and electrophysio-logical indexes of common peroneal nerve before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results The to-tal clinical effective rate of modified Yang-needling group was 95.6%(86/90),which was significantly higher than that of or-dinary acupuncture group(82.2%,74/90),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01).After treatment,the hip function score of the two groups was increased,which was higher in the modified Yang-needling group than in the ordinary acupuncture group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).After treatment,the scores of visual analogue score and all clinical symptoms of the two groups were decreased,which were significantly lower in the modified Yang-needling group than in the ordinary acu-puncture group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).After treatment,the motor nerve conduction velocity of common peroneal nerve in the diseased limbs was increased and the latency was shortened in the two groups;the motor nerve conduction velocity of common peroneal nerve in the modified Yang-needling group was significantly higher than that in the ordinary acupuncture group,and the latency was significantly shorter than that in the ordinary acupuncture group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion Modi-fied Yang-needling combined with rehabilitation training can improve the hip function and clinical symptoms of patients with piriformis syndrome,improve the motor conduction velocity and latency of common peroneal nerve,reduce the pain degree of patients,and improve the clinical therapeutic effect.
