Clinical Observation Of Acupuncture Cupping Therapy For Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Of Splenasthenic Fluid-retention

Objective:This study used acupuncture cupping therapy to remedy chronic fatigue syndrome patients of splenasthenic fluid-retention,to judge clinical efficacy of acupuncture cupping therapy for CFS of splenasthenic fluid-retention and explore difference of the curative effect between this method and routine acupuncture by means of comparing and analyzing clinical symptoms scores,FS-14 scores and SF-36 life quality evaluation before and after treatment and clinical efficacy of judgement,so as to provide practical and effective method emboding the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine treatment for Chinese medicine acupuncture in the treatment of CFS.Meanwhile,offering relevant clinical data and reference basis for acupuncture cupping therapy.Methods:60 CFS patients of splenasthenic fluid-retention were recruited from the sixth department of encephalopathy and Administration of treating potential diseases in the second affiliated hospital of Anhui University of Chinese medicine.60 patients were divided into treatment group and control group in a 1:1 ratio according to the random number table.each group has 30 patients.The control group was treated with routine acupuncture,and the treatment group was treated with cupping therapy on the basis of routine acupuncture therapy.The treatment time of the two groups is 6 times per week with one day to rest and a course of treatment is 7 days and total course of treatment is 28 days.After 4 course of treatment,to observe and evaluate the change of clinical symptom score,FS-14 score and SF-36 life quality evaluation and conducting judgement of clinical efficacy.Results:(1)After 4 courses of treatment,the clinical symptom scores of the two groups are significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0.01).Compared with the control group,the symptom score of the treatment group decreased more significantly,and there is a statistical difference between the two groups(P<0.05).(2)After 4 courses of treatment,the FS-14 scores of the two groups are significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0.01).Compared with the control group,the FS-14 score of the treatment group decreased more,and there is a statistical difference between the two groups(P<0.05).(3)After 4 courses of treatment,SF-36 life quality evaluation of the two groups were evaluated and compared,which was significantly improved compared with that before treatment(P<0.01).Compared with the control group,the SF-36 life quality evaluation of the treatment group was significantly improved,and the difference between the two groups is statistically significant(P<0.05).(4)After 4 courses of treatment,3 patients in the treatment group are ineffective,with a total effective rate of 90%.Among the 30 patients in the control group,5 patients are ineffective in treatment,and the total effective rate is 83.33%.The total effective rate of the treatment group is higher than that of the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion:Both acupuncture cupping and conventional acupuncture can reduce the clinical symptom score and Fs-14 score of CFS patients,and improve the Sf-36 quality of life evaluation score of patients.Both groups have curative effect on CFS treatment,improving the symptoms of patients,relieving fatigue,and improving the quality of life of patients without serious adverse reactions.However,the therapeutic effect of acupuncture cupping is more obvious,and the total effective rate of acupuncture cupping group is higher than that of conventional acupuncture group.
