Methods: This study was comparing efficiency with 3 courses (baseline, the 1st course, the 2nd course, the 3rd course) of Tianjiu Therapy for asthma in 91 chronic asthma patients. For each course, patients received 3 times Tianjiu Therapy treatments, pretreatment assessment and posttrestment assessment. Results: 91 asthma participants completed at least 3 courses of Tianjiu Therapy in Sanfu Days. 1) Days for asthma attacked during the last 12 months;the frequency for asthma attacked during the last 12 months;incidence of admitting to clinic (Integrated Chinese Medicine & Western Medicine Clinic) when asthma attack during the last 12 months;times of admitting to clinic;times of solving by persistent medicine;times of solving by own medicine when asthma attack during the last 12 months;and symptoms associated with Chinese medicine of waking by asthma symptoms, lack of strength, lassitude, rapid or difficult breathing were improved at the 1st course, the 2nd course and the 3rd course compared with baseline (All P < 0.05);2) The incidence of admitting to In-patient Hospital and solving by persistent prescription when asthma attacked;the frequency of Chinese Herbal Medicine used during Tianjiu Therapy;the status of asthma under controlled and no improved by self-evaluation were similarly improved at the 2nd course and the 3rd course (All P 3) Incidence of admitting to A & E for asthma attacked during the last 12 months, and other treatments except Western Medicine, Chinese Herbal Medicine, and Acupuncture & Moxibution during the last 12 months were improvement at the 3rd course (All P 4) Symptoms associated with Chinese medicine of spontaneous sweating and reduction of exercise were improved at the 1st course (P < 0.05);5) Symptom of diarrhea after intake of oil food was became a little bad at the 2nd course and the 3rd course (P < 0.05);6) The frequency of bronchodilator used when asthma attack was reduced in the 1st course and the 2nd course (All P < 0.05);7) Lung function of FEV1 and FEV1/FVC(×100) were a little improvement, but have no significant statistical difference (P > 0.05);8) The total score of ACT at the 1st course, the 2nd course, and the 3rd course did not improved significantly (All P > 0.05). Conclusion: After Tianjiu Therapy in Sanfu Days participants have achieved good efficiency, and as the course get longer, the efficiency of more symptoms associated with chronic asthma were improved. Suggest patients with chronic asthma continuous receive Tianjiu Therapy in Sanfu Days which will be a feasible treatment.展开更多

The results revealed that topical application of drug paste [mixture of powder of Mahuang (Herba Ephedrae), Xixin (Herba Asari), Baijiezi (Semen Sinapis Albae), etc.] at the acupuncture points could improve symptoms and signs of allergic asthma patients, with the total effective rate being 69.57% (16/23) for the short term effect, and 52.17%(12/23) for the long term effect. In medication (Aminophylline) group, of the 25 cases of allergic asthma, 16 (64.0%) were effective after 4 weeks of treatment, while 6 (24.0%) were still effective that was shown by 6 months’ follow up. The therapeutic effect of acupoint application group was significantly better than that of medication group in the long term effect. Results also showed that no obvious interrelation between the short term therapeutic effect and the duration or the severity of the disease. Results also display that acupoint application therapy is an effective, safe and handy method with fewer side effects for asthma.展开更多
