| Object: In order to observe the influences on clinical symptoms and thyroid hormone level(FT3 、 FT4 、 TSH)of patients with kidney aging using the method of the herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel and the flour-partitioned moxibustion,compare the differences of clinical efficacy between the two methods.Partly explain the mechanism of treatment of kidney aging on the herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel.Enrich the system of herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel,providing basis for clinical anti-aging.Methods: 42 patients with kidney asthenia were selected and randomly divided into two groups,21 in the herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel group and 21 in the flour-partitioned moxibustion group.The scores of clinical symptoms and thyroid hormone level(FT3、FT4、TSH)were observed before treatment and after treatment.Compare the differences between the two groups.Results: 1.The clinical symptoms of herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel improved significantly,including,soreness and weakness of waist and knees,fatigue,chilly,polyuria at night,spontaneous perspiration,breathing hard constipation,night sweat,out of form,thin sloppy stool(P<0.01);The clinical symptoms of flour-partitioned moxibustion on the navel improved significantly including soreness and weakness of waist and knees,chilly(P<0.01).The group of herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel is better than flour-partitioned moxibustion on the navel.2.The differences of thyroid hormone level(FT3、FT4)of herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel before and after treatment have statistical significance(P<0.05),but the differences of thyroid hormone level of flour-partitioned moxibustion on the navel before and after treatmeat have no statistical significance.The differences between two groups have no statistical significance.The differences between two groups have no statistical significance.3.The differences of the symptoms’ scores of kidney-yang deficiency and kidney-qi deficiency in the herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel group have remarkable statistical significance(P<0.05).The differences of the symptoms’ scores of kidney-yin deficiency in the herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel moxibustion on the navel group have statistical significance(P < 0.05).The differences of thyroid hormone level(FT3)of kidney-qi deficiency before and after treatment have statistical significance(P<0.05).The differences of thyroid hormone level(FT4)of kidney-yang deficiency before and after treatment have statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusion: Herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel could obviously improve the clinical symptoms and thyroid hormone level(FT3、FT4)of patients with kidney asthenia,while herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel had better effects than theflour-partitioned moxibustion on the navel. |
