Clinical Observation Of Acupoint Catgut Embedding Therapy In The Treatment Of Prurigo Nodularis

Objective:The safety and effectiveness of acupoint line embedding therapy in the treatment of pruritus nodosum(damp-hot wind toxicity)lesions were evaluated objectively through the clinical observation of acupoint line embedding therapy in the treatment of pruritus nodosum(damp-hot wind toxicity)lesions,providing clinical basis for the clinical application of acupoint line embedding therapy in the treatment of pruritus nodosum(damp-hot wind toxicity)lesions.Methods:In this study,48 typical patients with nodular pruritus(damp-hot wind-toxic syndrome)were randomly divided into two groups:the treatment group(n=24)and the control group(n=24).In the treatment group,suture embedding was performed at selected acupoints once every 2 weeks.Oral Quanchong prescription plus or minus Chinese traditional medicine decoction every day,200ml each time,morning and evening;Rhizoma coptis ointment for external use,twice a day;Control group:Quanchong prescription plus or minus Chinese traditional medicine decoction orally every day,200ml each time,morning and evening;Rhizoma coptis ointment for external use,twice a day.2 weeks for a period of treatment,based on the proposed criteria,respectively,before treatment,treatment 2 weeks,4 weeks,6 weeks to look at the two groups of patients’ symptoms and signs,it is concluded that the number before and after treatment in patients with skin,skin hypertrophy degree,skin color,skin average diameter,degree of pruritus score,by comparing to two groups of patients,ultimately on the effectiveness of acupuncture point bury line therapy for objectivity of the evaluation and summary.Results:(1)Research data:According to the proposed inclusion,exclusion and exclusion criteria,a total of 48 patients with nodular pruritus were collected,including 24 patients in the treatment group and 24 patients in the control group.All patients completed 6-week follow-up.(2)Comparison of general conditions:the basic count data and measurement data of the two groups before treatment,except for smoking,were P>0.05;Baselines are basically the same and comparable.(3)Pruritus A,total lesion score B and total score A+B were analyzed before and after 6 weeks of treatment in the two groups,and there were statistical differences in total lesion score B and total score A+B,respectively,all P<0.05.After 2 weeks,4 weeks and 6 weeks of treatment,itching,rash number,rash hypertrophy,skin color and average diameter of skin lesions were significantly relieved and subsided in the two groups,but there was no significant statistical difference between the two groups(P>0.05).(4)Both the treatment group and the control group have therapeutic effect on this disease.In the long term,the acupoint catgut embedding therapy group(the treatment group)has better effect.(5)The total effective rate of the treatment group was 79%,and the total effective rate of the control group was 50%,indicating that the clinical efficacy of the treatment group was significantly better than the control group after the end of treatment.Conclusion:1.Acupoint line emburying therapy combined with oral Chinese medicine and external application of Coptis coptidis ointment,oral Chinese medicine and external application of Coptis coptidis ointment can effectively improve the symptoms and signs of pruritus nodosum(damp-heat wind toxicity syndrome)at each time point;2.2.After 6 weeks of treatment,the advantages of oral Chinese medicine and external application of coptis ointment in the treatment of skin lesions of pruritus nodosum(damp-hot wind-toxic syndrome)gradually became obvious;3.The two treatment methods were safe and effective.
