[Clinical study of piriformis syndrome treated with trigger-point acupuncture].
The clinical effect of TrP acupuncture is similar to that of glucocorticoid injection on piriformis syndrome in 1 month after treatment. In 2 months after treatment, TrP acupuncture is markedly effective for attenuating pain and the functional impairment of the lower limbs, improving the quality of life and reducing the use of analgesic drugs in comparison with glucocorticoid injection.
