A Clinical Study Of Acupuncture Combined With Cupping Therapy On Stable Angina Pectoris

ObjectiveStable angina pectoris is a clinical syndrome, which features of discomfort of the chest and vicinity region which is Induced by labour that causes myocardial ischemia. Angina pectoris is the most common manifestation of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Aaccording to the Statistics of WHO, Angina pectoris is one of the most common cause of death. The research aims to investigate clinical effect of acupuncture combined with cupping therapy on stable Angina Pectoris in order to provide reference for clinical application.MethodThis is a randomized control trial in which 60 patients with angina pectoris are Randomly divided into treatment group with the treatment of acupuncture combined with cupping therapy and control group with the treatment of oral isosorbide dinitrate, each 30 cases. The clinical effect and electrocardiogram are used as evaluation index.ResultsIn the research process, one case of the control group withdrew and expulsed. The result of the clinical effect of the control group of 30 cases is as follow, 13 cases had marked effect(43. 33%), 17 were effective(53.33%), 1 no effect(3. 33%), and total effective rate 96.67% compared wth the control group of 29 cases, 8 cases had marked effect (27. 59%), 14 were effective (48.28%), 5 no effect(17.24%),and total effective rate 75. 86%. The statistics analysis shows that the treatment group is superior to the control group and there is significant difference among the two groups (P<0. 05) .The result of the electrocardiogram effect of the control group of 30 cases is as follow, 12 cases had marked effect(40. 00%), 15 were effective(50.00%), 1 no effect (10. 00%), and total effective rate 90. 00% compared wth the control group of 29 cases, 6 cases had marked effect (20.69%), 15 were effective (51. 72%), 8 no effect(27. 59%), and total effective rate 72.41%. The statistics analysis shows that the treatment group is superior to the control group and there is significant difference among the two groups (P<0.05) .ConclusionAcupuncture combined with cupping therapy can significantly improve the clinical symptoms and electrocardiogram of the patients with angina pectoris and it is superior to oral isosorbide dinitrate. Acupuncture combined with cupping therapy is a safty and reliable therapy to cure angina pectoris and it is worth popularization and application in clinical practice.
