摘要
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus turtle-shell-partitioned moxibustion in treating diarrheapredominant irritable bowel syndrome(IBS-D). Methods: Seventy-six patients were randomized into two groups: 39 cases in the observation group were intervened by acupuncture plus turtle-shell-partitioned moxibustion, while 37 cases in the control group by the same acupuncture treatment, once a day, 10 d as a treatment course, for 2 courses in total. The improvements of symptoms were observed at the end of the intervention in both groups. Results: The total effective rate was 89.7% in the observation group versus 67.6% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P〈0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture plus turtle-shell-partitioned moxibustion can significantly improve the symptoms of IBS-D, and can produce a more significant efficacy than acupuncture alone.
目的:观察针刺加隔鳖甲灸对腹泻型肠易激综合征(irritable bowel syndrome,IBS)的临床疗效。方法:将76例患者随机分为两组,观察组39例采用针刺加隔鳖甲灸治疗,对照组37例仅采用与观察组相同的针刺治疗。两组均为每日1次,10天为1个疗程,共治疗2个疗程。治疗结束后观察两组患者治疗前后的临床症状改善情况。结果:针刺结合隔鳖甲灸的总有效率为89.7%,对照组为67.6%,两组总有效率差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:针刺加隔鳖甲灸可明显改善腹泻型IBS的临床症状,其疗效优于单纯针刺治疗。
