Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combined whole-body fumigation moxibustion and acupoint massage for treating postpartum cold pain due to qi deficiency and blood stasis.
76 postpartum women with cold pain were enrolled from January 2023 to June 2024 at Rizhao People's Hospital.
Participants were divided into a control group (36 patients) receiving standard care, and an observation group (40 patients) receiving combined treatment.
Treatment effects were compared between both groups.
The observation group showed significantly lower scores in traditional symptom assessment, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) compared to the control group (P<0.01).
The Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.01).
The total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05).

Shows improved pain relief in postpartum women, suggesting effective intervention for recovery.
