ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To probe a better therapy for chronic persistent asthma.METHODS:
Thirty-six cases of chronic persistent asthma were randomly divided into a beat-sensitive moxibustion group (17 cases) and a western medication group (19 cases). In heat-sensitive moxibustion group, the sensitization points between Feishu (BL 13) and Geshu (BL 17) were selected with heat-sensitive moxibustion; in western medication group, Seretide inhalant was applied. The patients of both groups were continuously treated for 3 months and the therapeutic effects were evaluated by clinical symptom scores and pulmonary ventilation function test.RESULTS:
After treatment, the effective rate of 88.2% (15/17) in heat-sensitive moxibustion group was superior to that of 47.4% (9/19) in western medication group (P < 0.05); the clinical symptom scores and pulmonary ventilation function were obviously improved in the two groups, and the heat-sensitive moxibustion group was superior to the western medication group (all P < 0.05).CONCLUSION:
For chronic persistent bronchial asthma, heat-sensitive moxibustion can improve the clinical symptoms and the pulmonary ventilation function, and it is better than Seretide inhalant.
