By constipation diary of patients, frequency of going to stool, straining severity, time of once bowl evacuation, a sense of incomplete bowel emptying, stool quality, a sense of defecation and the Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life questionnaire (PAC-QOL), as well as the changes before and after treatment were observed.

The efficacy on slow transit constipation (STC) was superior to that caused by spastic pelvic floor syndrome (SPFS-C) (P〈0.05), the efficacy on constipation caused by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) was superior to that on either SPFS-C or constipation caused by relaxant pelvic floor syndrome (RPFS-C) (both P〈0.05).

Conclusion Acupuncture has definite efficacy on CFC with definite etiology, loci and diagnostic classification. But, the efficacies are different due to various dynamic mechanisms. A further optimized treatment program is required to improve the efficacy on SPFS-C and RPFS-C.展开更多
