    Abstract
  •   Objective  To explore the efficacy of modified round needle therapy in the treatment of lumbar myofascial pain syndrome (LMPS) and its impact on pain mediators and lumbar function, providing evidence for optimizing clinical treatment strategies.  Methods  A total of 112 LMPS patients admitted to the outpatient department of the First People's Hospital of Linping District, Hangzhou, from January 2021 to December 2023, were randomly divided into group A and group B. Group A (56 patients) received conventional Western medicine treatment, while group B (56 patients) received modified round needle therapy. Clinical efficacy, pain severity (VAS score), levels of pain mediators [prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)], inflammatory factors [interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)], and lumbar function [Oswestry disability index (ODI) score] were compared between the two groups.  Results  The total effective rate in the group B was 96.43% (54/56), significantly higher than the 82.14% (46/56) in the group A (χ2=5.973, P=0.015). The VAS scores of the two groups after treatment were decreased (P<0.05), with group B exhibiting significantly lower scores than group A (P<0.05). The levels of PGE2 and 5-HT of the two groups after treatment were decreased (P<0.05), with group B showing greater reductions compared to group A (P<0.05). The IL-1β and TNF-αlevels of the two groups after treatment were both decreased (P<0.05), with group B demonstrating lower levels than group A (P<0.05). The ODI scores of the two groups after treatment were also decreased (P<0.05), with group B showing lower scores than group A (P<0.05).  Conclusion  Modified round needle therapy is an effective treatment for LMPS, significantly alleviating pain symptoms, improving their lumbar mobility, and promoting the recovery of lumbosacral muscle tension. It also accelerates the repair process of damaged tissues and is highly beneficial for application.
