Abstract:
Objective To study the curative effect of manipulative lymphatic drainage combined with Xuefuzhuyu Decoction on pain of swollen patients after arthroplasty. Methods Totally 152 patients of arthroplasty were divided into control group and observation group. The patients in control group were treated with herbal lymphatic drainage. The patients in observation group were treated with Xuefuzhuyu Decoction on the basis of the control group. After 7 d, the swelling and pain of two groups were compared. Results The peripatellar 10 cm circumference, subpatellar 10 cm circumference, PRI score, VAS score and PPI score were significantly decreased in two groups (P < 0 . 05 ). There was no significant difference in the total effective rate between the two groups (P > 0 . 05 ), but the observation group was significantly higher than the control group (P <0.05). Conclusion Manipulative lymphatic drainage combined with Xuefuzhuyu Decoction can effectively alleviate the pain and swelling of patients after joint replacement surgery, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
