The Clinical Observation Of Intervention Effect Of Combining Wu Zang’s Beishu Points With Yuan Points On Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS)with wu zang’ beishu points and yuan points,to explore the feasibility of using beishu points and yuan points of wu zang to treat CFS,and in order to provide a basis for clinical intervention of the disease.Methods:Eighty patients with CFS who met the study criteria were randomized to a treatment group and a control group,with 40 patients in each group.The treatment group used wu zang’ beishu points and yuan points.The control group used wu zang’ beishu points.The two groups of patients were treated 3 times a week.Both groups were acupunctured every other day for 30 minutes each time.Both groups were treated for 4 weeks as a course of treatment,totally two courses.The fatigue scale-14,the anxiety self-rating scale and the health status survey profile were evaluated before the treatment,at the 4th weekend of treatment,and at the 8th weekend of the treatment.And the efficacy was determined by FS-14.The clinical data obtained for statistical analysis was calculated by SPSS 17.0 software.Results:74 patients with CFS were included in the final statistical analysis.There were 38 patients in the treatment group and 36 patients in the control group.No cases were removed.Compared with before,after the treatment the FS-14 and SAS scores of the two groups were both significantly improved,and the fatigue and anxiety of the patients were just improved.The treatment group was superior to the control group.Compared with before,after the treatment the PF,BP,RE,MH,VT,GH,RP scores in SF-36 were significantly improved,but the improvement of SF was not obvious.There were significant differences in PF and VT scores between the treatment group and the control group.And the others had no significant difference.It is suggested that both the treatment group and the control group can improve the health conditions of the patients,and the total efficacy of the treatment group was better than that of the control group.The results of total effective rates of the two groups showed that the rate of treatment group was 94.7%and the rate of control group was 77.78%.The total efficacy of treatment group was significantly better than that of the control group.Conclusion:Both the treatment group and the control group were effective in treating chronic fatigue syndrome,and the patients’ fatigue,anxiety and health conditions were all relieved to varying degrees.The clinical effect of treatment group was significantly better than that of the control group.
