Research On Infrared Temperature Characteristics Of "One Area And Four Points" Before And After The Moxibustion On Cold Coagulation In Heart-vessel Syndrome Of Thoracic Obstruction

Objective:To observe the infrared temperature characteristics of the "four points and one area" before and after moxibustion and taking Compound Danshen Dripping Pill(DSP);and to observe the correlation between the disease outcome and the temperature changes in the precordia region and acupoints.Method:Randomly divide 70 eligible subjects equally into treatment group and control group,the treatment group apply moxibustion on DanZhong(RN-17),Juque(RN-14),Jueyinshu(BL-14),Xinshu(BL-15),Geshu(BL-17)as interventions everyday,five days a week,the control group taking DSP everyday,both group take four weeks as a course.Using the change of scores in chest impediment to evaluate the curative effect,taking infrared thermography and measure the temperature on precordia area and Shenmen(HT-7),Shaohai(HT-3),Neiguan(PC-6),QuZe(PC-3)before and after intervention.Observe the relationship between effectiveness and temperature.Results:1.Efficacy of TCM symptoms(1)Before and after treatment,there was a statistical significance(P<0.05)for the differences in the symptoms of chest pain both in moxibustion group and the medicine group,among which the total effective rate of moxibustion group was 78.79%,and the medicine group was 72.73%.(2)After treatment,the difference of symptom score between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).2.INR Temperature Comparison(1)Comparison in the group: There was statistical differences on precordia region and acupoints’ temperature before and after moxibustion intervention(P<0.05),While the medicine group has the same change on Precordia area(P<0.05),but the change on four acupoints have no statistical differences(P>0.05).(2)Comparison between groups: After the intervention,the temperature of precordia region of two group have statistical differences(P<0.05).3.CorrelationThere was a correlation between the symptom score,precordia temperature and acupoint temperature in moxibustion group.While there was a correlation between the symptom score and the temperature of precordia region in the drug group.Conclusion:1.Both moxibustion and DSP can effectively improve the symptoms of chest pain,but moxibustion is better.2.Moxibustion therapy and taking DSP both can increase the temperature of precordia region.3.After moxibustion intervention,the clinical symptoms,temperature of the precordia region and acupoints were relevant.4.Infrared thermography has a certain reference value for the evaluation of cold coagulation in heart-vessel syndrome of thoracic obstruction.
