针刺配合热敏点灸治疗急性期贝尔氏面瘫

目的:探索一种治疗面瘫急性期创痛小、疗效好、易操作的新疗法。方法:将60例患者随机分为两组,各30例。观察组采用常规针刺加热敏点灸法;对照组单纯采用常规针刺。参照1997日本面神经研究会制定的"面神经功能评价标准",评定两组临床疗效。结果:两组治疗前后症状积分差异均有统计学意义(均P<0.01),组间治疗后症状积分差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)。观察组和对照组治愈率分别为76.67%、50.00%,组间差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。两组总有效率分别为93.33%、76.67%,组间差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:针刺加热敏点灸和单纯针刺疗法对治疗特发性面神经麻痹均有良好疗效,且针刺加热敏点灸优于单纯针刺。

System evaluation and Meta analysis on clinical effi cacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion in treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy

Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion in treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy（CSR）. Methods Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure（CNKI）, China Biology Medical（CBM） database, Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database（VIP）, Wan Fang Data, Pubmed and Cochrane Library were retrieved to search the randomized controlled trials（RCT） on heat-sensitive moxibustion in treatment of CSR, and Meta analysis was conducted by applying Rev Man 5.3 software. Results Eventually, 10 papers were included in this study, including 1008 subjects. Meta analysis result showed： the total effective rate of treatment group was higher than that of control group, and the difference was statistically significant [RR=1.13, 95%CI（1.06, 1.21）, Z=3.54, P=0.000 4]; the cure rate of treatment group was higher than that of control group, and the difference was statistically significant [RR=1.80, 95%CI（1.52, 2.13）, Z=6.82, P〈0.000 01]; the improvement of short-form Mc Gill pain questionnaire（SF-MPQ） of treatment group was superior to that of control group, and the difference was statistically significant [MD=–4.44, 95%CI（–6.38,-2.50）, Z=4.49, P〈0.000 01]; visual analogue scale（VAS） of treatment group was lower than that of control group, and the difference was statistically significant [MD=-0.36, 95%CI（-0.50, –0.23）, Z=5.42, P〈0.00001]; and the improvement of interleukin-6（IL-6） of treatment group was superior to that of control group, and the difference was statistically significant [MD=–7.32, 95%CI（-11.49, –3.14）, Z=3.44, P=0.000 6]. Conclusion It is indicated from the Meta analysis result that the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion or acupuncture combined with heat-sensitive moxibustion in treatment of CSR is superior to that of simple acupuncture or traditional suspended moxibustion, providing a new therapeutic method for treatment of CSR. However, the abovementioned conclusion still needs to be confirmed through randomized blind controlled trials with high quality and large sample size since the sample size of included studies was small, and the quality was low.

Observation on therapeutic efficacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion plus Western medicine for diabetic peripheral neuropathy

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion plus Western medicine in treating patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN).Methods:A total of 70 patients with DPN were divided into an observation group and a control group by sealed envelope method combined with the random number table method,with 35 cases in each group.The control group was treated with routine medicine,and the observation group was treated with heat-sensitive moxibustion on the basis of the treatment in the control group.After 2 courses of treatment,the scores of Toronto clinical scoring system(TCSS)and vibration perception threshold(VPT)in both groups were observed,and the clinical efficacy was compared.Results:During treatment,3 cases dropped out in the control group and 4 cases in the observation group.After treatment,the total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The scores of TCSS and VPT in both groups decreased after treatment,and the intra-group comparison showed statistical significance(both P<0.05).The scores of TCSS and VPT in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(both P<0.05).Conclusion:Heat-sensitive moxibustion plus Western medicine can improve the symptoms in patients with DPN,and has a better curative effect than the Western medicine alone.

Effect Observation on Heat-sensitive Moxibustion for Abdominal Distension Following Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of heat-sensitive moxibustion on abdominal distension following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: A total of 240 cases were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group according to their admission sequence, 120 in each group. Cases in the observation group were treated with conventional care, glycerol enema and heat sensitive moxibustion, whereas cases in the control group were only treated with conventional care and glycerol enema. Then the passage of gas by anus within 24 h and improvement of abdominal distension were observed in both groups. Results: There were statistical differences in the emergence time of bowel sounds and the initial passage of gas by anus between the two groups(both P<0.05). The therapeutic effect in the observation group was better than that in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion: Heat-sensitive moxibustion has reliable effect for abdominal distension following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
