ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the influence of mild moxibustion by different intervals on the therapeutic effect of the patients with primary hyperlipidemia. Methods: 63 cases of patients were randomly divided into Group A (32 cases) and Group B (31 cases). In both groups, mild moxibustion was applied bilaterally to Zusanli (ST 36). The treatment was given once a day for group A and once every other day for group B. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were summarized after twelve weeks. Results: The two groups are remarkably significant in reducing total cholesterol (TC)(P<0.001), and also remarkably significant in reducing triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterin (LDL-C) and in elevating high density lipoprotein cholesterin (HDL-C) (P<0.05); and not evident in improving apolipotroten (ApoAI), apoliporotein B (ApoB), and lipoprotein a[Lp (a)];however ApoAI showed an obvious tendency to rise, and ApoB and Lp (a) showed an tendency to decrease. There is no statistic significance in comparison between the groups. Conclusion: Mild moxibustion for primary hyperlipidemia can be applied by a plan of one treatment every other day.
