| Objective:To observe the effect of acupoint sticking on daily activities and airway ventilation of unwell controlled asthma patients.Methods:Cases from June to August in 2020 in the affiliated hospital of Nanjing University of TCM,acupuncture and rehabilitation and respiratory outpatient asthma,the patients is divided into two groups;one is acupoint sticking combined western medicine group(sticking combined western medicine group)and the other is western medicine,every group is including 34 patients.The western medicine group was treated with Budesonide and Formoterol Fumarate Powder for Inhalation,the sticking combined with western medicine were applied with acupoint sticking on the basis of western medicine group,from June 21 to August 31 in 2020,attach once every seven days,a total of attach 6 times.1 case did not finish sticking treatment in the western medicine group,1 case terminated this research because of acute aggravation during the study period,and 2 cases fell off during follow-up.The final treatment and follow-up were 33 cases in the combined western medicine group and 31 cases in the western medicine group,respectively.Observation:the patients’ Daily activity scores,asthma symptoms,psychological status scores,responses to stimuli and health care scores,asthma control test(ACT),PEF pred%,and clinical control rate of patients in both grooups before treatment,at the end of treatment,3 months after treatment and 6 months after treatment.Results:(1)within-group comparison:①The daily activities of 2 groups were increased significantly in half a year after the beginning of treatment(p<0.05),and the change was significant between the end of treatment and 3 months after treatment(p<0.05);(2)The asthma symptoms,psychological status and response to stimuli in 2 groups were improved significant within 6 months after treatment(p<0.05).And there is significant differences between every pairwise comparison of the three time points after treatment(p<0.05).Compared with before treatment,there was no significant alter in the careness for their own health between the two groups(p>0.05);③The ACT scores of 2 groups were significantly increased within 6 months after treatment(p<0.05).Pairwise comparison of the three time points after treatment showed significant difference(p<0.05);④ The PEF pred%was significantly increased in both groups within 6 months after treatment(p<0.05).Pairwise comparison of the three time points after treatment showed significant difference(p<0.05);⑤At the end of treatment,3 and 6 months after treatment,the clinical control rate in 2 groups was increased significantly(p<0.05).(3)Comparison between groups:①Daily activities:there was no significant difference between the two groups before treatment(p>0.05),but the comparison of the three time points after treatment showed the sticking group was higher significantly than the control group(p<0.05);②Comparison of asthma symptom score and psychological status in the two groups at 3 time points after treatment showed that the application group was higher significantly than the control group(p<0.05);there was no significant difference in response to stimuli and concern for health(p>0.05);③ACT:before treatment,there was no significant diference between the two groups(p>0.05).After treatment,the difference was significant between the sticking group and the control group at the three time points(p<0.05);④PEF pred%;there was no significant difference between the two groups before treatment(p>0.05),but after treatment,the comparison of the three time points showed that the sticking group was higher significantly than the control group(p<0.05);⑤Clinical control rate:the difference between the two groups was not significant before treatment,at three time points after treatment(p>0.05).Conclusion:(1)Compared with patients only using western medicine,Kechuanting acupoint sticking combined with western medicine can better improve the airway function,and then improve the patients’ daily activity level.(2)Kechuanting acupoint sticking combined with western medicine can effectively reduce the occurrence of asthma symptoms and improve the psychological status.(3)Kechuanting acupoint sticking combined with western medicine has a definite effect on improving the control level of patients. |
