Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of evodia acupoint application on postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction(GD)in patients with spinal cord injury(SCI).Methods From January 2016 to December 2018,90 cases hospitalized in our hospital with SCI after surgery were selected and randomly divided into the control groups and the observation group,45 cases in each group.The control group was received routine monitoring and supportive treatment.On the basis of the control group,the observation group were given evodia rutaecarpa acupoints(zhongwan,tsuanli and dachangshu acupoint).The levels of C-reactive protein (CRP)were measured and the clinical effects were compared between the two groups.Results The levels of CRP in D1,D3and D5in the observation group were lower than controls(P<0.05).The gastrointestinal symptoms scores and clinical effect of the observation group(82.22%)was significantly higher than that of the control group(53.33%)(P<0.05).Conclusion Acupoint application can reduce the inflammatory reaction of patients with SCI after operation,and has a certain therapeutic effect on GD after operation.
