ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy of trigger point acupuncture with fine silver needle combined with ozone in the treatment of female chronic pelvic pain.

MethodsA total of 132 patients with chronic pelvic pain were randomly divided into three groups, with 44 patients in each group.Group A was treated with trigger point acupuncture with fine silver needle combined with ozone, group B was treated with simple pudendal nerve block combined with ozone, and group C was treated with electrical stimulation-biofeedback.The VAS score, clinical total effective rate, and the improvement effect of pelvic floor type Ⅰ muscle strength and type Ⅱ muscle strength were compared among the three groups before treatment, after treatment, 1 week after treatment, and 2 weeks after treatment.In addition, SDS, SAS and SF-36 were used to evaluate the psychological score and quality of life score of patients before and 2 weeks after treatment.

ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference in each index of patients in the three groups before treatment (P>0.05).At different time points after treatment, the VAS score of patients in the three groups decreased compared with that before treatment (P < 0.01), and the VAS score of patients in group A was lower than that of the other two groups (P < 0.01).After treatment, the clinical total effective rate in group A was higher than that in group C, the total effective rate of pelvic floor type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ muscle strength, SF-36 scores were higher than those in group B and group C, and the SDS and SAS scores were lower than those in group B and group C (P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).

ConclusionsTrigger point acupuncture combined with ozone has good clinical effects on female chronic pelvic pain, and the pelvic floor muscle strength is obviously enhanced, which is conducive to the recovery of pelvic floor function.
