Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Small Needle-Knife
The small needle-knife (SNF) group undergoes rehabilitation treatment, with additional small needle-knife treatment once a week after acupuncture needle insertion at the Tiaokou (ST38) and Chengshan (BL57) acupoints. This treatment regimen will span over a duration of 3 weeks.
Small Needle-Knife
The small needle-knife therapy originated from the ancient Chinese acupuncture instrument known as the "Pi needle" from the "Nine Needles," which resembled a sword, had two sharp edges, and was originally used for abscess drainage. It is currently widely applied in treating conditions such as myofascial adhesions, chronic pain, or nerve compression.
The small needle-knife features a flat and rounded tip design, with its handle made of solid steel. This construction provides excellent toughness and flexibility, minimizing tissue damage, and facilitating microadhesiolysis, an intervention aimed at releasing adhesions.
Standard treatment
Rehabilitation treatment (based on the physician's assessment of the patient's clinical condition, using methods such as heat therapy, electrotherapy, manual therapy, or joint injections) at least once a week. This treatment regimen will span over a duration of 3 weeks.
