摘要
Objective To observe the influence of moxibustion at Shenque （神阙 CV 8） on senile symptoms and its machenism. Methods Sixty three patients were divided into moxibustion group and control group. Suspend moxibustion over CV 8 with moxa stick was used in moxibustion group for 30 min, the frequency was once two days and the course lasted for 2 months. No therapeutic measure was used in control group. The senile symptom score before and after treatment were evaluated, and the serum meletonin content before and after treatment was detected through radioimmunoassay. Results The senile symptom score after moxibustion decreased obviously than that before moxibustion （P〈0.001）, and the change was more obvious than that in control group （P〈0.01）. The effect of relieving symptoms such as lumbar debility and insomnia in moxibustion group was better than that in control goup （P〈0.05）. The total effect in moxibustion group was also better than that in control group （P〈0.05）. The serum meletonin content was increased obviously than that before moxibustion （P〈0.001）, and the content was higher than that in control group obviously （P〈0.05）. Conclusion Suspend moxibustion over CV 8 with moxa stick can improve senile symptoms, and this effect is related to the increase of the content of serum meletonin.
目的:观察艾条灸神阙穴对老年人衰老症状的影响及其作用机制。方法:将63例老年人随机分为艾灸组和空白对照组。艾灸组进行艾条悬灸神阙穴,每次30 min,隔日1次,连续2个月;空白对照组不采取任何治疗措施。对治疗前后衰老症状积分进行评定,采用放射免疫法检测治疗前后血清褪黑素的含量。结果:艾灸后衰老症状总体积分较治疗前明显降低(P<0.001),改善优于空白对照组(P<0.01);艾灸组在改善腰膝酸软、失眠等症状方面优于空白对照组(P<0.05);综合疗效组间比较,艾灸组优于空白对照组(P<0.05)。艾灸后血清褪黑素含量较治疗前明显提高(P<0.001),且明显高于空白对照组(P<0.05)。结论:艾条悬灸神阙穴可改善衰老临床症状,与其提高血清中褪黑素含量有关。
