Methods Thirty patients with recurrent costochondritis admitted to our hospital from November 2022 to November 2023 were included in the study. They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table method, with 15 cases in both groups. The control group received external application of Shuangbai powder for treatment, while the observation group received needle knife treatment. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared.
Results After using needle knife treatment, the clinical efficacy, pain score, sleep quality score, and quality of life score of the observation group were better than those of the control group, with significant differences between the groups (P<0.05).
Conclusion   In the treatment process of recurrent costochondritis patients, the use of needle knife therapy has a significant effect and can effectively alleviate patient pain, thereby improving their sleep quality and enhancing their quality of life.
