| Objective:By comparing different frequency of modified long snake moxibustion treatment of spleen and kidney yang deficiency chronic fatigue syndrome differences.Screening appropriate frequency moxibustion treatment options for modified long snake moxibustion treatment.Methods:In this study,66 subjects with chronic fatigue syndrome of spleen-kidney yang deficiency were randomly assigned to the treatment group and the control group(33 cases each)through a randomized,controlled method.Both groups usedthe modified long snake moxibustion treatment on the basis of conventional acupuncture for 12 times.The treatment group used modified 90-minute long snakes moxibustion once a week,and the control group used it three times a week.The treatment group and the control group were treated for 3 month and 1 months.Subjects’ condition changes were measured by the Fatigue Severity Scale(FSS),TCM Syndrome Rating Scale for Spleen and Kidney yang deficiency,SDS,SDS,and SF-36.Data was analyzed using SPSS22.0 software.Results:1.Subjects meeting the diagnostic criteria were included in the trial and randomly divided into treatment group and control group,with 33 cases in each group.There was no statistically significant difference between the baseline data(sex,age,duration,and pretreatment scales).(P>0.05)2.Comparison of differences of follow-up between the two groups before treatment,after treatment and one month after: FSS:Both the treatment group and the control group can reduce the FSS score.The difference between the two groups after treatment was lower than before treatment,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);the two groups of follow-up for one month were lower than before treatment and after treatment,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups(P >0.05).TCM Syndrome Rating Scale for Spleen and Kidney Yang deficiency:Both the treatment group and the control group were able to reduce the score of the syndrome score of TCM spleen-kidney yang deficiency;the two groups of follow-up for one month were lower than before treatment and after treatment,and the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups(P >0.05).SDS:Both the treatment group and the control group can reduce the SDS score after treatment;the two groups of follow-ups for one month were lower than before the treatment,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05);the SDS scores of the treatment group were lower than the treatment after one month of follow-up,and the difference was significant.There was a statistically significant difference(P <0.05);there was no significant difference between the two groups(P >0.05).SAS:Both the treatment group and the control group can reduce the SAS score after treatment;the two groups’ points of follow-up were less than the points before treatment,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05);the SDS scores of one month follow-up were lower than the score of after treatment,and the difference was significant.There was a statistically significant difference(P <0.05).The difference between the treatment group and the control group after treatment and one month follow-up was statistically significant(P <0.05).However,there was no significant difference between the two groups(P >0.05).SF-36:Both the treatment group and the control group significantly improved Phsical Function(PF),Role-Physical(RP),Bodily Pain(BP),General Health(General Pain,GH),Vitality(Vatality,VT)),Social Function(SF),Role Emotional(RE),and Mental Health(MH)scores,but the general health(GH)score after treatment in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group.The difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).Conclusion:1.The efficacy:Modified long snake moxibustion combined with acupuncture can improve the patient’s fatigue symptoms,spleen and kidney yang deficiency symptoms,depression and anxiety and general quality of life.2.Treatment frequency:In terms of general health(GH),the modified long snake moxibustion combined with acupuncture group three times a week was better than modified long snake moxibustion combined with acupuncture group once a week.There was no significant difference in the improvement values of other evaluation indicators.The efficacy of the modified long snake moxibustion combined with acupuncture group once a week had little difference with the modified long snake moxibustion combined with acupuncture group three times a week. |
