Objective To explore the effectiveness, safety and applicability of focused ultrasound (FU) in rural patients with cervicitis-related diseases.
Methods Patients with cervicitis-related diseases (n=8 352) from 80 township health centers of 9 counties in Chongqing were enrolled in this multicenter clinical study, and they were treated with CZF Model of FU for one time and then were visited in the following 3 months. According to the category 4 scoring method and the curative index, the effectiveness, safety and applicability in 7027 cases (1 156 mild cases, 5 312 moderate cases, 559 severe cases) with complete records were analyzed. The influencing factors were also analyzed with logistic regression analysis.
Results A total of 6 413 cases (91.26%) were treated within 5 minutes. After 3-month follow-up, the total effective rate was 99.59%, and 5 012 cases (71.32%) were cured. Just little or medium amount of vaginal bleeding occurred in 656 cases (9.34%) after treatment, while only 12 cases (0.17%) had bleeding in the similar amount tomenstruation, which were relieved by hemostasis and anti-inflammatory treatment.
Conclusion As a promising new therapy, focused ultrasound therapy for treating cervicitis-related diseases is safe and effective, with little postoperative bleeding and short-term of vaginal effusion, so it is suitable to be popularized in rural areas.
