| Objective:The purpose of this clinical study is to observe the clinical efficacy of Chen Yuqing’s fold and knead therapy in the treatment of functional constipation(qi stagnation type)by using Chen Yuqing’s fold and knead therapy and conventional massage technique,and to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this technique,so as to provide more therapeutic ideas for clinical treatment of functional constipation(qi stagnation type).Methods:60 patients with functional constipation(qi stagnation type)who met the criteria for admission were randomly divided into Chen Yuqing’s Fold and Knead Therapy group(treatment group)and conventional massage technique group(control group)with 30 cases.Different manipulative interventions were performed on the two groups respectively.The treatment frequency of the two groups of patients is 1 time per day,and 7 times are one course of treatment.After one course of treatment is completed,rest for 1 day and then carry out the treatment of the second course of treatment.After treatment,Wexner constipation system score,PAC-QOL scale score of constipation patients’ quality of life questionnaire and TCM symptom efficacy judgment standard score were respectively performed on the two groups of patients,so as to observe and compare the efficacy of the two groups of patients.Results:1.There were 5 cases of abscission in this project,including 2 cases in the treatment group and 3 cases in the control group.The final sample sizes of the treatment group and the control group were 28 cases and 27 cases respectively.In the treatment group,there were 3 clinically cured patients,9 markedly effective patients,15 effective patients and 1 ineffective patient,with a total effective rate of 96.43%.Inthe control group,there was 1 clinically cured patient,8 markedly effective patients,12 effective patients and 6 ineffective patients,with a total effective rate of 77.78%.The difference in effective rates between the two groups was statistically significant(P=0.038<0.05).2.Before and after treatment,there was no significant difference in Wexner constipation system score and PAC-QOL scale score of constipation patients(P>0.05).After treatment,the Wexner constipation system score of the two groups was significantly lower than before(P<0.05),and the treatment group was significantly lower than the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the PAC-QOL scale score of constipation patients in the two groups was significantly lower than before(P<0.05),and the PAC-QOL scale score of constipation patients in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).after treatment,the score of TCM symptom efficacy criteria for constipation patients in the two groups was significantly lower than before(P < 0.05),and the score of TCM symptom efficacy criteria for constipation patients in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P < 0.05)Conclusion:1.Chen Yuqing’s Fold and Knead Therapy can can effectively treat functional constipation(qi stagnation type)good and safety.2.Chen Yuqing’s Fold and Knead Therapy is more effective than conventional massage in improving the symptoms of constipation patients,improving the quality of life of constipation patients and the symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine.3.Chen Yuqing’s Fold and Knead Therapy is effective,easy to operate and easy to popularize in the treatment of functional constipation(qi stagnation type),which provides a new clinical treatment idea for functional constipation(qi stagnation type). |
