| ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of abdominal acupuncture in conditioning zang-fu functions in treatment,and the importance of comprehensive therapy combining abdominal acupuncture in conditioning zang-fu functions with local treatment of facial acupuncture;To investigate the positive effects on anxiety and depression by improving skin lesions of combining acupuncture combined with facial acupuncture.MethodIn this study,a randomized controlled trial was conducted to select 51 cases of acne with phlegm and blood stasis that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.They were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group.The experimental group was given abdominal acupuncture combined with facial acupuncture,and the control group was given facial acupuncture,both of them were cooperating with external application of RuYiJinHuang ointment.The treatment effects were assessed by the comprehensive clinical effect,skin lesion scores and the TCM clinical symptom scores before and after treatment.To observe the changes of patients’ psychological state before and after treatment by calculating the scores of SAS and SDS.SPSS 20.0 software was applied for statistical treatment.ResultIn this study,a total of 51 cases were effective,including 25 cases in the experimental group and 26 cases in the control group.After one course of treatment,there was no significant difference in the efficacy of the treatment between the experimental group(36.00%)and the control group(26.92%)(P>0.05);After two courses of treatment,the efficacy of treatment of the experimental group(68.00%)was superior to that of the control group(42.31%)(P<0.05);During the follow up at 2 weeks into treatment,the efficacy of treatment of the experimental group(60.00%)was still superior to that of the control group(30.77%)(P<0.05).In terms of skin lesions score,skin lesions were improved in both groups(P<0.05)with no significant difference statistically(P>0.05).After two courses of treatment,skin lesions were improved in both groups,and the different between the 2 groups had shown statistical significance(P<0.05),which indicated that the experimental group had shown better treatment result.During the follow up at 2 weeks into treatment,skin lesions were improved in both groups,and the different between the 2 groups had shown statistical significance(P<0.05),which indicated that the experimental group had shown better treatment result.2 weeks after the end of the treatment compared to the end of-the treatment,there was no significant change in skin lesions in the experimental group(P>0.05),while there was a significant increase in skin lesions in the control group(P<0.05).In terms of TCM symptom improvement,compared with before treatment,at the end of one course of treatment,at the end of two courses of treatment,and at 2 weeks after the end of treatment,TCM symptoms in both the experimental group and the control group showed different degrees of improvement(P<0.05),and the improvement degree of TCM symptoms in the experimental group was more significant for the control group(P<0.05).2 weeks after the end of the treatment compared to the end of the treatment,TCM symptoms in the experimental group improved(P<0.05),while no significant changes were observed in the control group(P>0.05).The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).In terms of the scores of SAS and SDS,it can be seen that both the two groups showed significant improvement in SAS and SDS before and after treatment(P<0.05),and there was no significant diff-erence in the degree of improvement both of SAS and SDS between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion1 Abdominal acupuncture has therapeutic effect and can produce long-term therapeutic effect on acne of phlegm and blood stasis.2 Abdominal acupuncture can be integrated conditioning on the xwhole,while facial acupuncture can promote blood circulation partially and remove blood stasis and promote rapid regression of skin lesions.The combination of the two has a higher clinical effect than the use of facial acupuncture alone.3 Abdominal acupuncture combined with facial acupuncture therapy can improve anxiety and depression by improving skin lesions. |
