| Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of treating chronic superficial gastritis, differentiation of syndromes in TCM is deficiency of spleen and stomach, with tonic 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,60 chronic superficial gastritis were selected and randomly divided into treatment group and control group, with 30 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)), the TCM classification of chronic superficial gastritis. Observed the symptom of irregular pain in upper abdomen, epigastric distention, indigestion and loss of appetite, gastroscopy results before and after the treatment.Result:The treatment group had an effective rate of 40.0%and a total effective rate of 90.0%, while the control group were 20.0%ande 73.3%, 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, by analytical statistics, the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05);the control group and the treatment group at indigestion and loss appetite, by analytical statistics, the difference was no statistically significant (p>0.05).The gastrescopy results after treatment in both group were better than before treatment (p<0.05). Howerer, the improvement seen between the groups had no significant difference (p>0.05).Conclusion:The total clinical efficacy of treating chronic superficial gastritis, differentiation of syndromes in TCM is deficiency of spleen and stomach, the treatment group was better than the control group. Inproving the symptom at irregular pain in upper abdomen and epigastric distention, the tonic twirling of the needle treatment group was better than even reinforcing-reducing method control group. Inprovements in gastroscopy tests were seen after both methods of treatment,tonic twirling of the needle treatment and even reinforcing-reducing method, and the difference between the groups was not very significant. |
