OBJECTIVE: To observe the efficacy of acupuncture on @entity158 after replantation of severed finger. METHODS: A total of 80 @entity1 who underwent replantation of severed finger were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 40 cases in each one. The @entity1 in the control group were treated with postoperative routine care of hand surgery, while @entity1 in the observation group, based on the regular treatment, were treated with acupuncture within first 72 h of surgery. The health side of Yanglingquan (GB 34), Xuehai ( @entity13595 ), Hegu ( @entity9154 ), Houxi (SI 3) were selected and the needles were retained for 30 min. The acupuncture was given for 6 times. The evaluation was performed by using visual analogue scale (VAS) 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after surgery. The use of analgesics after surgery was recorded in the two groups, and the blood supply and survival rate of severed finger were evaluated. RESULTS: Compared between the two groups, the VAS 4 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after surgery in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (all P<0. 05); the use frequency of analgesics in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0. 05); the abnormality rate of blood supply in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0. 05). CONCLUSION: Acupuncture can significantly relieve @entity282 of replantation of severed finger, and reduce the occurrence rate of abnormal blood supply, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
