ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture-moxibustion therapy plus Chinese medical decoction as assistant in treating liver cirrhosis ascites. Method Ninety-five patients with liver cirrhosis ascites were divided into an observation group (48 cases) and a control group (47 cases) by the random number table. The control group was given Chinese medical decoction, while the observation group was additionally given acupuncture-moxibustion therapy. The clinical effects were compared after treatment. The alanine transaminase (ALT), total bilirubin (TBIL), albumin (ALB), clinical symptom score, 24-h urine volume, abdominal circumference, and body weight were recorded before and after treatment. The patient's satisfaction rates after treatment were also compared.Result The total effective rate was 93.8% in the observation group, significantly higher than 74.5% in the control group (P<0.05); the levels of ALT and TBIL dropped after treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and the levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05); the ALB level increased after treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and the observation group was markedly higher than the control group (P<0.05); the clinical symptom score dropped after treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05); the 24-h urine volume increased after treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and the observation group was markedly higher than the control group (P<0.05). The abdominal circumference and body weight dropped after treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05); the satisfaction rate was 87.5% in the observation group after treatment, significantly higher than 68.08% in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture-moxibustion therapy plus Chinese medical decoction can improve the relevant symptoms, liver function and patient's satisfaction rate in the treatment of liver cirrhosis ascites.
