Comparison and evaluation of the difference in clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture combined with surrounding acupuncture and sham electroacupuncture groups and control group (ice compress combined with brake rest group) in the treatment of ALAS by means of musculoskeletal ultrasound technique.
1. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture combined with surrounding acupuncture in the treatment of ALAS,and compare its differences and advantages with traditional therapy. 2. To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture combined with surrounding acupuncture on the physiological and biochemical changes of the affected nerve,muscle and ligament, as well as its mechanism and pathway. 3. To investigate the influence of treatment time,frequency,intensity,stimulation point and other factors on the therapeutic effect and mechanism,further optimize the treatment plan and improve the therapeutic effect and efficiency. 4. To demonstrate the unique advantages and value of acupuncture analgesia,strengthen the concept and practice of integrated Chinese and Western medicine,and make contributions to promoting the application and development of acupuncture analgesia in the field of orthopedics and traumatology.

RECRUITINGKofoed
The Kofoed evaluation system was divided into 3 items, which were evaluated before treatment, 3 weeks after treatment and after treatment. The ankle joint function was evaluated mainly from three aspects of pain, function and range of motion, with a total score of 100.
Time frame: before treatment（baseline,week0）, after treatment(week4) and 1 week after treatment（follow-up,week5）.
musculoskeletal ultrasound quantitative measurement
The thickness of lateral collateral ligament of ankle joint was measured by GE LOGIQ-e portable color Doppler ultrasonography before and after treatment. The frequency of linear array probe was 8 \~ 12 mHz.
Time frame: before（baseline,week0）and after treatment(week4).
circumference of ankle joint
The circumference of ankle joint was measured in 3 groups before, 3 weeks and after treatment.
Time frame: before treatment（baseline,week0）, after treatment(week4) and 1 week after treatment（follow-up,week5）.
