Effects Of Traditional Chinese Medicine Auricular Pressure Therapy On Young Patients With Grade 1 And 2 Primary Hypertension

Objective:To explore the antihypertensive effects of Chinese auricular points bean pressure on young patients with grade 1 and 2 primary hypertension and to provide the clinical basis for non-drug therapy for young hypertensive patients.Methods:50 cases of young patients with grade 1 and 2 primary hypertension selected from July 2001 to October 2016 in the outpatient department of Xiyuan Hospital Cardiovascular,whose blood pressure were still not up to standard after lifestyle intervention for 4 weeks,accepted Chinese auricular points bean pressure therapy voluntarily.The 50 cases of hypertensive patients were treated with Chinese auricular points bean pressure therapy for 4 weeks continuously.Then detected and analyzed the blood pressure in consulting room,ambulatory blood pressure,concomitant symptoms and quality of life before and after the treatment.Result:Effects on blood pressure:Compared with that of pretherapy,systolic blood pressure(SBP)in consulting room after 4 wedecreased eks with Chinese auricular points bean pressure therapy decreased 10.913.7 mm Hg,the diastolic blood pressure(DBP)decreased 18.9±6.7 mmHg,and the heart rate 16.6±5.7 times/min(P<0.05),which showed significant statistical significance(P<0.05).The mean SBP and DBP in 24 hours,in daytime and during nighttime were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0.05).Clinical symptoms improved:16 cases were significantly effective after treatment,26 cases were effective and 8 cases were ineffective,the total effective rate was 84%.Quality of life:After 4 weeks of treatment,the SF-36 score of patients after treatment(121.14±10.08)was significantly higher than that of before treatment(115.92 ± 9.71),which showed significantly difference(P<0.05),especially in physiological function,physical pain,energy,social function and emotional intelligence effects.Conclusion:The effects of Chinese auricular points bean pressure on young patients with grade 1 and 2 primary hypertension were effective with better quality of life and less adverse effects,which was worthy of further clinical application.
