| Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of treating chronic superficial gastritis, differentiation of syndromes in TCM is Liver-stomach disharmony, with reducing twirling of the needle and to discuss initially its mechanism so as to explore the clinical treatment approach that has acknowledge effect and is easy to use.Methods:According to the inclusion criteria,100 chronic superficial gastritis were selected and randomly divided into treatment group and control group, with 50 cases in each group. The treatment group were treated with reinforcing manipulations by twirling the needle, while the control group were treated by even reinforcing-reducing method. For both groups, the same acuponts were chosen and the treatment frequence was once every two days, continues course treatment of 15 times. Efficacy evaluation was conducted after 15 times'treatment according to the《The gudie to clincial study of Chinese medicine and new drugs》maded by Ministry of Health in 1995, and "The Diagnostic and Treatment Standards of Gastroscopy in Chronic Gastritis" cited in 2003. the TCM classification of chronic superficial gastritis.

Result:The treatment group had an a total effective rate of 90.0%, while the control group were 78.0%, respectively. After the treatment, comparing the overall effects of the two groups by Ridit test, the difference was statistically significant(p<0.05), the symptoms in both groups improved, the treatment group had better effect than the control group at irregular pain in upper abdomen and epigastric distention and indigestion and loss appetite,by analytical statistics, the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). The gastrescopy results after treatment in both group were better than before treatment (p<0.05).And the improvement seen in the treatment group was more significant than the control group (p<0.05, respectively).Conclusion:The symptoms in both groups improved, with the treatment group having a more significant improvement than the control group (p<0.05, respectively). Inproving the symptom at irregular pain in upper abdomen and epigastric distention and the gastroscopy tests, the reducing twirling of the needle treatment group was better than even reinforcing-reducing method control group(p<0.05, respectively). And it was corresponding the correspond reinforceinsufficiencyandreduceexcessiveness. |
