Methods One hundred and twenty patients were randomized into an observation group（60 pa ents） and a control group（60 pa ents）,the pa ents in the observa on group were subjected to intervention with warming moxibustion using moxa sticks,once a day,while the patients in the control group was orally administered with Buzhong Yiqi Pill（补中益气丸）,three mes a day,and the two groups were con nuously treated for two months. Scores for fa gue and life quality of the patients were observed before and after treatments,and follow-ups were carried out for 12 months. Results The scores for fatigue and life quality of the patients in the two groups significantly decreased in comparison to those before treatments,and the diff erences were sta s cally significant（all P0.05）. The scores for fa gue,body pain（BP）,general health（GH）,vitality（VT） and mental health（MH） of the pa ents in the observa on group a er treatment were significantly improved in comparison to those in the control group（all P0.05）. The scores for fatigue,BP,GH,VT and MH at six and twelve months a er the follow-ups were also significantly improved in comparison to those in the control group（all P0.05）. Conclusion Warming moxibus on can significantly improve fa gue symptoms and life quality of the pa ents in subhealth fa gue status.展开更多

Methods Thunder-fire moxa was used for suspending moxibus on on Shu？dào（水道 ST 28） and Guānyuán（关元 CV 4） on both sides for 10 children with tes cular hydrocele,the moxa s ck was kept 2–3 cm above from the skin and the moxibustion was carried out until the skin become red and hot for about 15–20 min. The treatments were carried out once a day and ten mes were considered as a treatment course,and the therapeutic efficacy was subjected to statistics after two treatment courses. Results Eight cases were cured,and eff ec ve in 2 cases; the cured rate was 80% and the effective rate was 100%. Conclusion Thunder-fire moxibustion has rela vely good clinical effi cacy in trea ng tes cular hydrocele in children.展开更多

Methods： One hundred and twenty patients were randomized into two groups. The 68 cases in the treatment group received intensive warm needling therapy, and 52 cases in the control group was treated by small needle-knife therapy. Results： The therapeutic effects were similar between the two groups. A follow-up study showed that the relapse rate was lower in the treatment group. Conclusion： Both small knife-needle and intensive warm needling therapy are effective in treating the third lumbar transverse process syndrome. But, intensive warm needling therapy has easier operation and lower relapse rate.展开更多

Methods： Fifty patients with sciatica were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 25 in each. The treatment group received warm needling therapy, and the control received ordinary acupuncture therapy. The treatment effects were assessed after three treatment sessions. Results： The cured rate and total effective rate were 68.0% and 88.0% respectively in the treatment group, versus 36.0% and 66.0% in the control, and the differences were statistically significant （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Warm needling therapy can effectively improve the clinical symptoms in managing sciatica, with better effects compared with ordinary acupuncture therapy.展开更多

Methods One hundred and fifty patients with diabetic perineuropathy meeting with the inclusive criteria were randomized into a moxibus on group,a mecobalamin group and a therapeutic alliance group by using random digits table. Moxibustion was carried out on Tàixī（太溪 KI 3）,Sānyīnjiāo（三阴交 SP 6）,Zúsānl？（足三里 ST 36）,Hég？（合谷 LI 4） and Qūchí（曲池 LI 11） for the patients in the moxibustion group,the treatments were carried out once every other day,treatments for ten mes were considered as a treatment course,and totally three treatment courses were carried out. The pa ents in the mecobalamin group were orally administered with mecobalamin tablet 500 μg once,three times a day,20 days were considered as a treatment course,and totally three treatment courses were carried out. Moxibustion was carried out on the basis of oral administration with mecobalamin tablet in the therapeutic alliance group. The clinical symptoms,nerve conductive velocities and changes in blood homocysteine were observed before and after the treatments in the three groups. Results The total eff ec ve rate in the moxibus on group was 74.0%（37/50）,82.0%（41/50） in the mecobalamin group,94.0%（47/50） in the therapeutic alliance group,and the total effective rate in the therapeutic alliance group was significantly be er than the other two groups（P0.01）. The nerve conductive velocities in the mecobalamin group and the therapeutic alliance group after the treatments were significantly increased and the blood homocysteine level decreased in comparison to those before the treatments（P0.01）,while the nerve conductive velocity increased and the blood homocysteine level decreased in the therapeutic alliance group after the treatments in comparison to those in the other two groups（P0.01）. Conclusion Treatments on diabe c perineuropathy by therapeu c alliance of moxibustion and mecobalamin can not only improve symptoms of patients,increase nerve conduc ve velocity in aff ected limbs,but also decrease blood homocysteine level. The method is simple,economical and safe,and it deserves being generalized in clinical prac ces.展开更多
