Effect of etofenamate combined with special electromagnetic therapeutic apparatus in treating stenosing tendovaginitis of radial styloid in lactating women
Abstract：Objective To observe the effect of etofenamate combined with special electromagnetic therapeutic apparatus in treating stenosing tendovaginitis of radial styloid in lactating women.Methods A total of 60 lactating women suffered from stenosing tendovaginitis of radial styloid from January 2012 to December 2013 were randomly divided into control group (30 cases) treated with special electromagnetic therapeutic apparatus (30 min/d),and observation group (30 cases) treated with etofenamate (3 g/d) combined with special electromagnetic therapeutic apparatus (30 min/d);the treatment was lasted for 7 days.The visual analogue scale (VAS) before and after treatment were compared between groups;the effective rate was observed.Results A total of 28 cases in control group and 28 cases in observation group completed the treatment.The VAS scores before and 3 d after treatment had no significant differences between groups (P ＞ 0.05).The VAS scores were significantly reduced 7 d after treatment in both control group [(4.3 ± 1.2) scores vs (6.1 ±2.1) scores] and observation group [(3.3 ± 0.8) scores vs (6.3 ± 1.9) scores],and was significantly lower in observation group than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).The effective rate in observation group 7 d after treatment were significantly higher than that in control group [92.9％ (26/28) vs 78.6％ (22/28)] (x2 =6.351,P =0.042).Conclusion Etofenamate combined with special electromagnetic therapeutic apparatus provides better effect in treating stenosing tendovaginitis radial styloid in lactating women compared with single special electromagnetic therapeutic apparatus.
