中医外治法干预产后腰痛的研究进展
Research Advances in TCM External Therapies for Managing Postpartum Low Back Pain

产后腰痛是女性产后较为常见的疾病，以腰骶部疼痛、活动受限为主要临床表现，严重者疼痛可放射至腿部。这些症状严重影响产后女性的身心健康，因此早期正确干预具有重要意义。西医治疗主要依赖药物干预，但由于许多产后女性需要哺乳，而西药不良反应较多，导致患者依从性较差。相比之下，针灸、推拿等中医药非药物疗法在治疗该病方面显示出显著疗效，具有安全性高和整体调节的优势。本文整理了近些年来的相关文献，总结了中医外治法治疗本病的现状，以期为临床治疗提供参考依据。
Postpartum Low Back Pain (PLBP), a prevalent condition among women after childbirth, is primarily characterized by lumbosacral pain and restricted mobility, with severe cases presenting radiation of pain to the lower limbs. These symptoms profoundly impair both physical and psychological well-being in postpartum women, thereby highlighting the critical need for early and evidence-based interventions. While conventional Western medical approaches predominantly rely on pharmacological treatments, their clinical utility is significantly limited by frequent adverse effects and low patient compliance, particularly among breastfeeding women who require stringent medication safety. In contrast, non-pharmacological Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapies, such as acupuncture and tuina (therapeutic massage), have demonstrated superior clinical efficacy in PLBP management, offering dual advantages of high safety profiles and holistic physiological regulation through systemic meridian adjustments. This article reviewed recent relevant literature to summarize the current status of external TCM therapies for this condition, aiming to provide a clinical reference for treatment.
