ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To observe the clinical effect of modified fire-needle technique and herbal bathing-repairing therapy of TCM on multiple verruca plantaris.METHODS:
Seventy patients with multiple verruca plantaris were randomly divided into an observation group (35 cases, 1 case was eliminated) and a control group (35 cases, 2 cases dropped out). In the control group, the herbal bathing-repairing therapy of TCM was adopted. In the observation group, besides the treatment as the control group, fire needling and cauterization were delivered on the base of skin lesion or the sites with rich blood vessels under the dermoscope. The intervention was provided once a week, one course of treatment was composed of 3 weeks, and two courses were required in each group. The score of the self-designed symptom scale, the score of dermatology life quality index (DLQI) and the area of typical skin lesion were observed before and after treatment. The clinical effect was evaluated after treatment and the recurrence was assessed 2 months after treatment completion in the two groups.RESULTS:
After treatment, the scores of the self-designed symptom scale and DLQI were lower and the area of typical skin lesion was smaller compared with those before treatment in the two groups (P<0.05). The scores of the self-designed symptom score and DLQI in the observation group were reduced (P<0.05), and the area of typical lesion was smaller (P<0.05) in comparison with those in the control group. The total effective rate was 91.2% (31/34) in the observation group, higher than that in the control group (60.6%, 20/33, P<0.05). The recurrence rate was 6.5% (2/31) in the observation group, lower than that in the control group (35.0%, 7/20, P<0.05).CONCLUSION:
Modified fire-needle technique combined with herbal bathing-repairing therapy ameliorates clinical symptoms and the quality of life in the patients with multiple verruca plantaris and reduces the recurrence of the disease.Palavras-chave
