Clinical Research On Acupoint Catgut Embedding Therapy For Diarrhea-Irritable Bowel Syndrome(Pattern Of Spleen Vacuity With Exuberant Dampness)

Object iveTo observe the effect of acupoint catgut embedding on diarrhea-irritable bowel syndrome(pattern of spleen vacuity with exuberant dampness),objectively evaluate the curative effect of acupoint catgut embedding,aiming to find a expedient,safe and reliable treatment for this disease.Methods60 patients with diarrhea-irritable bowel syndrome were randomly divided into the experimental group and control group(30 cases per group).The experimental group was treated with acupoint catgut embedding therapy once a week and used alternately with two groups of acupoints.The first group acupoints are:Tianshu,Dachangshu,Shangjuxu,Pishu.The second group acupoints are:Weishu,Zhongyu,Zusanli,Yinlingquan.The course of treatment is expected to be 5 weeks.The control group’s acupuncture point selection and treatment period were the same as those of the experimental group,but without catgut implantation.Dietary guidance is given during the treatment period,and no other treatments associated with the treatment of this disease are used.The quality of life and the improvement of clinical symptoms were compared between the two groups before and after treatment,and the long-trem curative effect was observed.Results1.Before the treatment,the experimental group and the control group were compared in the gender,age and courses of disease by statistics analysis.The results didn’ t reach statistical significance(P>0.05).Two groups are comparable.2.After the treatment,the SF-36 scale was evaluated.There was no significant difference in mental health aspect between the two groups(P>0.05),while the other seven dimensions scored different degrees than before treatment.3.The scores of physical functioning,role-physical,bodily pain,vitality and role-emotional of the experimental group increased significantly.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),and the first four differences were significant(P<0.01).In the control group,the scores of physical functioning,bodily pain and role-emotional increased significantly(P<0.05),and the physical functioning and bodily pain were significantly different(P<0.01).4.The scores of each dimension after treatment in the experimental group were generally higher than those in the control group.Comparison between the groups showed that the role-physical,bodily pain,vitality and physical functioning of the experimental group were significantly better than the control group(P<0.05).5.The total score of the diarrhea pattern in the experimental group decreased with the increase of the course of treatment.The total score of the diarrhea pattern in the control group decreased with the increase of the course of treatment at 1 to 5 weeks of treatment.At the follow-up after 1 month,the total score of the diarrhea pattern showed a rebound.6.There was no significant difference in the scores of the experimental group for relieving long voidings of clear urine,eold limbs and fear of cold and limp aching lumbus and knees(P>0.05),while other symptom scores were significantly different(P<0.05).In the control group,there was a signifieant difference in the relief of diarrhea,rumbling intestines,bland taste in the mouth and belching(P<0.05),while the other symptoms were not significantly different(P>0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups in the treatment of long voidings of clear urine,eold limbs and fear of cold and limp aching lumbus and knees(P>0.05).There was a significant difference in the scores of other symptoms(P<0.05).7.At the follow-up,there was no significant difference in the symptom scores of the experimental group compared with the end of treatment(P>0.05).The control group was higher than the previous one,and there were statistically significant differences in the eight symptoms(P<0.05),including abdominal distention and pain,glomus and fullness,poor appetite,physical fatigue and lassitude of spirit,fatigued limbs and lack of strength,long voidings of clear urine,cold limbs and fear of cold and limp aching lumbus and knees.The comparison between the groups showed that the scores of the symptoms in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group at the follow-up,and there was statistical difference(P<0.05).8.After treatment,the total effective rate of the experimental group was 93.33%,and the total effective rate of the control group was 33.33%.There was a statistical difference(P<0.05).At the time of follow-up,the effective rate of the experimental group was stable,while the efficiency of the control group decreased.ConclusionThrough the observation of the clinical curative effect on patients with diarrhea-irritable bowel syndrome,it is believed that acupoint catgut embedding therapy can effectively improve the clinical symptoms such as diarrhea,abdominal pain and abdominal discomfort,and improve the quality of life of patients.The curative effect is exact,stable,and has no adverse reactions,which is worthy of clinical promotion.
