温针灸治疗勃起功能障碍的临床疗效观察（英文）

Clinical observation on warm needling moxibustion for erectile dysfunction

目的:观察温针灸治疗勃起功能障碍(ED)的临床效疗。方法:将46例ED患者采用简单随机分组方法分为2组,观察组24例采用温针灸治疗,对照组22例采用单纯针刺治疗,治疗周期为4个疗程。依据国际勃起功能指数(IIEF-5)评分评价临床疗效。结果:经过4个疗程的治疗,观察组的总有效率为91.3%(实际完成23例),对照组总有效率为75.0%(实际完成20例),两组差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗后,两组治疗前后IIEF-5评分差值比较,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:温针灸治疗ED疗效优于单纯针刺疗法。

Objective： To observe the therapeutic effect of warm needling moxibustion for erectile dysfunction （ED）. Methods： A total of 46 eligible ED patients were randomized into a treatment group （n=24） and a control group （n=22）. The treatment group was intervened by warm needling moxibustion while the control group by conventional acupuncture treatment, for a total of 4 courses. The therapeutic effect was evaluated by the international index of erectile function 5 （IIEF-5）. Results： After 4 courses of treatment, the overall effective rate was 91.3% in the treatment group （23 completed）, versus 75.0% in the control group （20 completed）, with a significant difference （P〈0.05）. After the treatment, the change of IIEF-5 score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Warm needling moxibustion can produce a more significant efficacy than conventional acupuncture in the treatment of ED.
