ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To observe the clinical efficacy of opening-closing six-qi acupuncture combined with western medication for primary hypertension of liver yang hyperactivity, and explore its action mechanism.METHODS:
A total of 96 patients with primary hypertension of liver yang hyperactivity were randomly divided into an acupuncture group (48 cases) and a western medication group (48 cases, 2 cases eliminated, 1 case discontinued). The western medication group was given felodipine sustained-release tablets orally, 5 mg each time, once a day. The acupuncture group was treated with opening-closing six-qi acupuncture at tender points of shaoyang and yangming areas of the head on the basis of the western medication group, once every other day. A total of 4 weeks were required in both groups. The blood pressure before treatment and after 2, 4 weeks of treatment, the TCM syndrome score and serum levels of hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), homocysteine (Hcy) before and after treatment were observed, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated in the two groups.RESULTS:
After 2, 4 weeks of treatment, the systolic blood pressure(SBP)and diastolic blood pressure(DBP) in both groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(P<0.05)ï¼except for DBP after 2 weeks of treatment, the SBP and DBP in the acupuncture group were lower than those in the western medication group(P<0.05). After treatment, the TCM syndrome scores and serum levels of hs-CRP, IL-6, Hcy were decreased compared with those before treatment in the two groups(P<0.05), those in the acupuncture group were lower than those in the western medication group(P<0.05).The total effective rate of the acupuncture group was 95.8% (46/48), which was higher than 73.3% (33/45) in the western medication group(P<0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
Opening-closing six-qi acupuncture combined with western medication could lower blood pressure, improve symptoms in patients with primary hypertension of liver yang hyperactivity.Its mechanism may be related to down-regulation of inflammatory factors.Palavras-chave
