Objective:To observe the clinical effect on superior cluneal nerve (SCN) entrapment syndrome treated with the release technique of long round-sharp needle.Methods:The syndrome differentiation based on meridian muscle region was adopted.The release technique of the long round-sharp needle was used at the lesions of meridian tendon region,Yāoyícì (Beside Yaoyi) and the transverse process of the third lumbar vertebra in 34 patients with SCN entrapment Syndrome.The treatment was given once a week,4 treatments made one course.After one course treatment,the therapeutic effect was observed.The results of pain rating index (PRI),the visual analogy scores (VAS)and the present pain intensity (PPI) were compared before and after treatment.Results:Of 34 patients,28 cases (82％) were cured,6 cases (18％) effective and 0 case (0％) failed.The total effective rate was 100％.The scores of PRI,VAS and PPI were (10.78 ± 1.98),(5.98 ± 129) and (3.91 ± 1.68)successively in 34 cases before treatment and they were (1.98 ± 1.79),(0.89 ± 1.12) and (0.82 ± 0.79) after treatment.The score of every evaluation scale after treatment was lower significantly than that before treatment (all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion:The release technique of long round-sharp needle achieves the satisfactory clinical effect on SCN entrapment syndrome.Hence,this therapeutic method deserves to be promoted.
