The Clinical Efficacy Research Of Fire Needle And Moxibustion In The Treatment Of Pigmentation Left Over By Acne.

Objective:to observe the clinical effectiveness of Fire needle and Moxibustion in the treatment of pigmentation left over by acne. Looking for a new,effective and green integrated approach of acupuncture.Morden:With the randomization, controlled and single-blind research method, a total of 70 patients were divided into two groups. Each group was 35 cases. The treatment group was treated by integrated approach of acupuncture that Fire needle and Moxibustion. Who did not go away would be treated by fire needle after fifteen days. Moxibustion was used two times a day. A total of treatment is sixty days. The control group did no taked any treatment. Observe the change that the degree, the numbers, a size of pigment, the degree of pigment faded and the time of pigment colour weaked before and after the treatment.Results:(1) clinical effect:In the treatment group, the recovery patients were 16 cases, markedly effective patients were 5 cases, effective patients were 13 cases. Recovery and significantly effective rate was 61.7%, and the rate of total efficiency was 100%. In the control group, the recovery patients were 6 cases, markedly effective patients were 2 cases, effective patients were 23 cases, invalid patients were 2 cases. Recovery and significantly effective rate was 24.2%, and the rate of total efficiency was 93.9%. The clinical efficacy between tow groups by non-parametric (Mann-Whitney) test, P<0.05. Two groups had significant difference, so the treatment group of Fire needle and Moxibustion was significant better than the control group.(2) Integral of skin lesions assessment:After treatment two groups of patients, the integral change in skin lesions by non-parametric (M-W) test, all P<0.05. The integral contained the degree, the numbers, a size of pigment, emotional and total score. Two groups have significant difference. So the treatment group of the integral score lesions had significant lower after treated.(3) Pigment faded assessment:After treatment two groups of patients, the degree of pigment faded and the time of pigment faded by non-parametric (M-W) test, all P<0.05. The time contained pigment colour weaked and dissipateing of bright red, brown and hazel pigment. Two groups had significant difference. So in the time of pigment colour weaked and faded, all kinds of pigment colour dissipateing, the treatment group had significant less than the control group.Conclusion:The morden of Fire needle and moxibustion have an action dissipateing pigmentation left over by acne.
