Clinical study of manipulation of Bojin-Guicao combined with external application of Chinese medicine for the lateral epicondylitis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objectives In order to evaluate the clinical effect of manipulation combined with traditional Chinese medicine for the lateral epicondylitis. Methods A total of 150 patients with lateral epicondylitis were randomly divided into two groups, 75 patients in each group. The treatment group received manipulation combined with the TCM herbal bathing decoction, and the control group received the shock wave therapy and TCM herbal bathing decoction. Two groups were treated for 3 months. The SF-McGill scale, VAS, PPI, PRI were measured, and the clinical curative effect rate was assessed after treatment. Results The total effective rate of the treatment group was 92.0% (69/75), and the control group was 80.0% (60/75). There was statistical significant difference between two groups (χ2=8.339, P=0.039). The SF-McGill pain questionnaire scores, after treatment (26.3 ± 9.9 vs. 29.4 ± 8.8, t=-4.183), one month after treatment (20.5 ± 7.7 vs. 25.6 ± 6.9, t=-3.954), and 3 months after treatment (14.4 ± 8.0 vs. 18.3 ± 6.7, t=-4.031) in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The VAS scores after treatment (4.9 ± 1.4 vs. 5.8 ± 1.3, t=-4.631), one month after treatment (3.0 ± 1.0 vs. 4.1±1.2, t=-3.752), and three months after treatment (2.3 ± 1.0 vs. 3.0 ± 1.3, t=-4.350) in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The PPI score after treatment (2.4 ± 0.6 vs. 3.1 ± 0.5, t=-7.528), one month after treatment (1.8 ± 0.6 vs. 2.5 ± 0.7, t=-6.630), and 3 months after treatment (1.1 ± 0.4 vs. 1.9 ± 0.7, t=-3.425) in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The PRI score after treatment (19.5 ± 8.0 vs. 22.3 ± 5.7, t=-3.574), one month after treatment (13.7 ± 4.7 vs. 17.3 ± 5.3, t=-3.985), and three months after treatment (9.3 ± 6.6 vs. 12.5 ± 4.8, t=-1.270) in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The Manipulation combined with traditional Chinese medicine bathing therapy can relief the symptoms of lateral epicondylitis, and improve the clinical curative effect.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
