ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To compare the clinical effect of wheat grain moxibustion and warming acupuncture on chronic superficial gastritis of spleen-stomach deficiency and cold.METHODS:
A total of 200 patients with chronic superficial gastritis of spleen-stomach deficiency and cold were randomly divided into a wheat grain moxibustion group (100 cases, 13 cases dropped off ) and a warming acupuncture group (100 cases, 16 cases dropped off ). The acupoints of Zhongwan (CV 12), Tianshu (ST 25), Qihai (CV 6), Liangqiu (ST 34) and Zusanli (ST 36) were selected in both groups. The patients in the wheat grain moxibustion group were treated with wheat grain moxibustion, and 5 cone were given on every acupoint each time. Moxibustion was performed after acupuncture in the warming acupuncture group, and 3 cone each acupoint. Both groups were treated every other day for 15 times. The scores of clinical symptoms and signs, scores of physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) of quality of life in the two groups were recorded before and after treatment and during follow-up 1 month after treatment, and the clinical effects of the two groups were evaluated after treatment and during follow-up.RESULTS:
After treatment and during follow-up, the scores of clinical symptoms and signs of the two groups were lower than before treatment (P<0.05), and the scores of PCS and MCS of quality of life were higher than before treatment (P<0.05). At follow-up, the score of clinical symptoms and signs in the wheat grain moxibustion group was lower than that in the warming acupuncture group (P<0.01), and the scores of PCS and MCS of quality of life were higher than those in the warming acupuncture group (P<0.001). The total effective rate of the wheat grain moxibustion group was 93.1% (81/87), which was higher than 82.1% (69/84) of the warming acupuncture group at follow-up (P<0.001).CONCLUSION:
The wheat grain moxibustion can effectively improve the clinical symptoms, signs and quality of life in patients with chronic superficial gastritis of spleen-stomach deficiency and cold, and its long-term effect is better than warming acupuncture.Palabras clave
