Objective: Tennis elbow is a kind of disease mainly characterized by localized pain in the external epicondylar of humerus and dysfunction of wrist extensor and forearm rotation. It is a high-incidence sports injury disease with an incidence rate of 1% to 3% in the population [1], and its incidence rate can be as high as 50% among tennis players [2], causes great distress to tennis players and even affects their careers. The current mainstream treatment is the use of injectable drugs and physical therapy [2], but poor efficacy. This article will discuss the clinical efficacy of a new type of treatment (double needle acupuncture (Bingzhen) for tennis elbow.Methods: 63 patients with tennis elbow were treated by Bingzhen therapy. There were the main treatment points including Quchi, Shousanlici, brachioradialis myofascial trigger point, musculus extensor carpi radialis longus myofascial trigger point, anconeus myofascial trigger point. A course of Bingzhen therapy included therapy twice a week for 2 weeks. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores and clinical efficacy before and after treatment were observed.Results: VAS score of 2.46±1.38 after treatment was lower than VAS score of 8.37±2.69 before treatment (P<0.05). In the treatment group, the total effective rates of the treatment were 93.65%. 29 cases were cured, 23 cases were markedly effective, 7 cases were effective, and 4 cases were ineffective.Conclusions: Bingzhen therapy can relieve the pain and improve the function of tennis elbow effectively, and has the value of further promotion in clinical practice.
