Application Of Meridional Stream Timing At Rhubarb Point Application Combined With Gastrointestinal Pacing In Elderly Patients With Functional Constipation

[Objective]Based on meridian flow injection theory,rhubarb external application of Shenque point combined with gastrointestinal pacing is applied to elderly patients with functional constipation to explore an optimal intervention method that is beneficial to elderly patients with functional constipation.[Methods]From February 2017 to February 2018,according to inclusion and exclusion criteria,62 elderly patients with functional constipation were admitted to the department of spleen and gastroenterology in a third class A Chinese medicine hospital,they were divided into two groups in accordance with random Number table,on the basis of exclusion criteria,60 cases were finally included.The experimental group(n=30)was excluded organic lesions and diagnosed as functional constipation by enteroscopy,on the basis of routine treatment and meridian flow theory,the open time of large intestine meridian(5 to 7 o’clock)was selected to apply rhubarb and peppermint oil to Shenque acupoint,at the same time,gastrointestinal pacing was used to stimulate intestinal peristalsis and promote the absorption of rhubarb drugs;The control group(n=30)patients were selected the opening time of the large intestine meridian(5 to 7 o’clock),and applied rhubarb alone at Shenque point to promote intestinal peristalsis.By comparing the first defecation time,spontaneous defecation frequency and nature of defecation,filled in the quality of life scale for functional constipation patients.Data collection time was set at 2 weeks after intervention,and the results were analyzed by medical statistical software SPSS 19.0,in order to evaluate the condition of defecation in the two groups of functional constipation.[Result]1.There was no statistical significance in age and sex difference between the two groups(P>0.05).2.Time of first defecation:There was no statistical significance between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05);there was statistical significance between the two groups after two weeks treatment(P<0.05),and the value of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group.3.Frequency of spontaneous defecation:There was no statistical significance between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05);there was statistical significance between the two groups after treatment(P<0.05),and the frequency of defecation in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group.4.Fecal properties:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the score of fecal properties between the two groups(P>0.05);after treatment,the score of fecal properties of the two groups was lower than that before treatment,and the score of experimental group was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).5.Score in Quality of life scale in constipation patients:before treatment,there was no statistical significance in quality of life score between the two groups,P>0.05;after treatment,the quality of life score of the two groups were lower than before treatment,and the combined group was lower than the control group,P<0.05.[Conclusion]1.This study shows that the rhubarb external application of Shenque point combined with gastrointestinal pacing based on meridian flow injection timing can stimulate intestinal peristalsis,promote the absorption of raw rhubarb drugs,effectively improve the first defecation time,promote the number of spontaneous defecation,and effectively improve the nature of feces.2.This study shows that:the use of meridian flow injection timing rhubarb external application Shenque point combined with gastrointestinal pacing can improve the quality of life of elderly patients with functional constipation,improve their living conditions and improve their comfort level.However,due to the short research time and the lack of large samples,the long-term efficacy still needs further observation.
