Methods Sixty-four cases were randomly divided into an acupuncture and moxibustion group (n=32) and an acupuncture group (n=32). Conventional acupuncture at Tiānshū (天枢 ST 14), Zúsānlǐ (足三里 ST 36), Gōngsūn (公孙 SP 4) and other acupoints was used in the two groups, and moxibustion on heat-sensitive acupoints was added in the acupuncture and moxibustion group. The treatment frequency was 5 times a week, and 4 weeks were a course. After 2 courses, the therapeutic effect was evaluated. Results The clinical symptom scores after treatment in two groups decreased obviously than those before treatment (both P〈0.01). The cured and markedly effective rate in the acupuncture and moxibustion group was 87.5% (28/32), and that in the acupuncture group was 37.5% (12/32), so the effect in the acupuncture and moxibustion group was better than that in the acupuncture group (P〈0.01). The improvement of all kinds of symptom scores in the acupuncture and moxibustion group was all better than that in the acupuncture group (all P〈0.05). Conclusion The clinical effect of acupuncture combined with moxibustion on heat-sensitive acupoints on IBS-D is better than that of acupuncture.展开更多

Methods Eighty-two patients were randomly assigned to the heat-sensitive group (43 cases) and the acupuncture group (39 cases). Corresponding heat-sensitive points in the lumbosacral area were selected in the heat-sensitive group. Then moxibustion was performed at the heat-sensitive acupoint, thus conducting the moxibustion sensation. The treatment was ended when the sensation conduction was finished. If there appeared no moxibustion sensation, moxibustion at the corresponding painful point was lasted for 30 min. Needling was performed in the acupuncture group at corresponding Jiájǐ(夹 脊 EX-B 2), Back-shu point, Wěizhōng (委中 BL 40); matching points included Huántiào (环跳 GB 30), Fēngshì(风市 GB 31), Yánglíngquán (阳陵泉 GB 34), Zhìbiān (秩边 BL 54), etc. The waste was irradiated with TDP after needling, with the maintaining time of 30 min. The treatment was carried out twice weekly, four weeks as one therapeutic course. The therapeutic effect was statistically calculated after 8-week treatment. Results Nineteen cases were clinically cured, 20 improved, 4 failed, and the effective rate 90.7%(39/43) in the heat-sensitive group, while 9 clinically cured, 25 improved, 5 failed, and the effective rate 87.2%(34/39) in the acupuncture group. Signif icant difference was shown in the clinically cured case by 2 test (P0.05). Conclusion Heat-sensitive acupoint was superior to traditional acupuncture in treatment Irishmen with discogenic low back pain.展开更多
