Effect of Acupuncture plus Small Dosage of Herba Epimedii on Improving the Life Quality of Climacteric Postmenopausal Women

Objective： To investigate the effects of acupuncture and combined acupuncture and medicine on the quality of life and the genital endocrine level in postmenopausal women. Methods： Forty-seven patients were randomly assigned to acupuncture and acupuncture plus medicine groups, 23 cases in the acupuncture group and 24 cases in the acupuncture plus medicine group. The observed course of treatment was 3 months. A Chinese concise SF 36 questionnaire was used to evaluate the quality of life in the different groups of patients before and after treatment. Meanwhile, radioimmunoassay was used to observe the differences in serum genital hormones： follicle stimulating hormone （FSH）, luteinizing hormone （LH） and estradiol （E2） contents between pretreatment and posttreatment in both groups. Results： After treatment, there was a significant difference in quality of life between the two groups and it was better in the acupuncture plus medicine group than in the acupuncture group（P〈 0.01）. E2 content increased more markedly in the acupuncture plus medicine group than in the acupuncture group（P〈 0.05）. There were no significant differences in FSH and LH contents between the two groups（P 〉 0. 05）. Conclusion. Both acupuncture and acupuncture plus medicine can improve the quality of life and increase obviously low E2 content in postmenopausal women. Acupuncture plus medicine raises the patients＇ quality of life and E2 content more markedly than acupuncture. It is suggested that both acupuncture and acupuncture plus medicine can improve the symptoms, signs, and physical and mental health, raise the quality of life and ameliorate genital-endocrine environment in postmenopausal women, but a combination of acupuncture and medicine has a better effect.

通元针法联合隔药脐灸治疗绝经后女性遗忘型轻度认知功能障碍

【目的】观察通元针法联合隔药脐灸治疗绝经后女性遗忘型轻度认知功能障碍(amnestic mild cognitive impairment,aMCI)患者的临床疗效。【方法】将60例绝经后女性肾虚髓减型aMCI患者随机分为观察组和对照组,每组各30例。观察组给予通元针法联合隔药脐灸治疗,对照组给予普通针刺治疗,隔日治疗1次,连续治疗8周。观察2组患者治疗前后中医证候积分、简易精神状态检查量表(MMSE)及其瞬时记忆部分评分、蒙特利尔认知评估量表(MoCA)及其延迟回忆部分评分、华山版听觉语言学习测验(AVLT-H)及其长延迟回忆评分的变化情况,并评价2组患者的临床疗效。【结果】(1)治疗8周后,观察组的总有效率为86.67%(26/30),对照组为63.33%(19/30),组间比较(秩和检验),观察组的疗效明显优于对照组(P<0.05)。(2)治疗后,2组患者的MMSE及其瞬时记忆部分评分、MoCA及其延迟回忆部分评分、AVLT-H及其长延迟回忆评分均较治疗前明显提高(P<0.01),中医证候积分均较治疗前明显降低(P<0.01);组间比较,观察组对MMSE及其瞬时记忆部分评分、MoCA及其延迟回忆部分评分、AVLT-H及其长延迟回忆评分的提高幅度以及对中医证候积分的降低幅度均明显优于对照组(P<0.05或P<0.01)。【结论】通元针法联合隔药脐灸可有效治疗绝经后女性肾虚髓减型aMCI患者,其疗效优于普通针刺治疗。
