| Objective:Through observing the changes of the clinical symptoms of Tongmai Wenyang moxibustion on the body sub-health of Yang deficiency,combining with the scores of Yang deficiency quality integral scale,Number of people with physical changes in traditional Chinese Medicine,sub-health state body symptom self-assessment scale(SC-SHs-Q)and quality of life scale(SF-36)before and after the intervention,the clinical effect and the mechanism of Tongmai Wenyang moxibustion on the body sub-health of Yang deficiency was explored by the author.Method: In this study,60 subjects were randomly divided into treatment group and control group respectively.Each group had 30 subjects.The subjects in the two groups received health education.The subjects in the treatment group were treated with Tongmai Wenyang moxibustion once a week,four times a course for two consecutive courses.The control group was treated with routine acupuncture,5 times a week,four weeks a course of treatment,two courses in a row.Before and after the intervention,the scores of Yang deficiency quality integral scale,Number of people with physical changes in traditional Chinese Medicine,sub-health state body symptom self-assessment scale(SC-SHs-Q),quality of life scale(SF-36)and their clinical effects were observed.Result:(1)Comparison of therapeutic effect of Yang deficiency syndrome in traditional Chinese Medicine:The total effective rate was 86.67% in Tongmai Wenyang moxibustion group and 60% in routine acupuncture group.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P(27)0.05).(2)Comparison of therapeutic effect of hysical symptoms in sub-health state:The total effective rate of Tongmai Wenyang moxibustion group was 83.33%,and that of routine acupuncture group was 60%.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P(27)0.05).(3)Comparison of the number of physical change cases in the two groups after treatment:6 patients in the control group changed to non Yang deficiency constitution,6patients to Yang deficiency constitution;10 patients in the treatment group changed to non Yang deficiency constitution,7 patients to Yang deficiency constitution.According to the results of the study,both groups can change their Yang deficiency constitution.Compared with each other,the number of people in the treatment group changed to Yang deficiency constitution is more than that in the control group.(4)The score comparison of Yang deficiency quality scale:after two courses of treatment,the scores of Yang deficiency quality in both groups were decreased and the difference was statistically significant(P(27)0.01).But Tongmai Wenyang group improved the quality of Yang deficiency more significantly(P<0.05).(5)Comparison of the scores of sub-health body symptom self-assessment scale:after two courses of treatment,the scores of sub-health body symptom in the two groups were decreased and the difference was statistically significant(P(27)0.01).Compared with the control groups,the improvement of sub-health body symptom in the Tongmai Wenyang moxibustion group was more significant(P<0.05).(6)Comparison of scores on the quality of life table: after two courses of treatment,there were statistically significant differences in BP dimension scores before and after intervention in the conventional acupuncture group(P<0.05),statistically significant differences in four dimensions of PF、RP、GH and VT(P<0.01),and no statistically significant differences in three dimensions of SF、RE and MH(P>0.05).There were statistically significant differences in six dimensions of PF、RP、BP、 GH、VT and MH before and after intervention in Tongmai Wenyang moxibustion group(P<0.01),statistically significant differences in SF dimension(P<0.05),and no statistically significant differences in RE dimension(P>0.05).In comparison between the two groups,there were statistically significant differences in 7 dimensions of PF,RP,BP,GH,VT,SF and RE in the Tongmai Wenyang moxibustion group(P<0.05),and no statistically significant differences in dimension of RE(P>0.05),among which there were significant differences in dimension of PF and GH(P<0.01).Conclusion:The clinical effect of Tongmai Wenyang moxibustion is better than that of conventional acupuncture intervention,and the former can significantly improve the physical performance and quality of life of the patients with Yang deficiency and sub-health.Moreover,Tongmai Wenyang moxibustion is environmental,safe,easy to operate.At the same time,it is economic and effective with few side-effects,so the therapy is worth promoting. |
