Clinical Observation Of Jianpi Qushi Herb-partitioned Moxibustion On Umbilicus For Phlegm-dampness Obesity

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of Jianpi Qushi Herb-partitioned Moxibustion on umbilicus for Phlegm-dampness obesity,and to find a more effective treatment for obese patients with phlegm-dampness.Methods: According to the principle of random control,72 recruited obese patients with phlegm-dampness were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 36 cases in each group.The observation group was given the intervention of Jianpi Qushi Herb-partitioned Moxibustion on umbilicus and the control group was given the intervention of Jianpi Qushi Herb-partitioned on umbilicus.The phlegm-dampness mass score,fasting blood glucose(FBG)and blood lipid of the observation group and the control group were recorded before and after treatment.The body weight,body mass index(BMI),body fat rate(F%),waist circumference(WC),hip circumference(HC),waist hip ratio(WHR),skinfold thickness and blood pressure were recorded every two weeks.To observe the clinical effect of Jianpi Qushi Herb-partitioned Moxibustion on umbilicus on obese patients with phlegm dampness.Results:1.Comparison of clinical efficacy:the observation group used Jianpi Qushi Herb-partitioned Moxibustion on umbilicus to intervene phlegm-dampness obesity,and the total effective rate was 83.87%;The total effective rate of the control group was 70.00%.There was significant difference between the two groups(P=0.02<0.05).2.Intra group comparison:There were significant differences in body weight,BMI and F% between the two groups(P<0.01);There were significant differences in waist circumference,hip circumference and waist hip between the two groups before treatment(P<0.01);There was significant difference in skinfold thickness between the two groups(P<0.01);The scores of phlegm-dampness and mass in the two groups were significantly different from those before treatment(P<0.01);3.Comparison between groups:(1)After treatment,there were significant differences in body weight,BMI and F% between the two groups(P<0.05);There were significant differences in waist circumference,hip circumference and waist hip ratio between the two groups(P<0.05);The results showed that the observation group was better than the control group in reducing body weight,BMI,F%,waist circumference,hip circumference and waist hip ratio.(2)There was no significant difference in the thickness of skin fold between the treatment group and the control group(P<0.05).(3)After treatment,the difference of phlegm dampness quality score between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).The improvement of phlegm dampness syndrome in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group.Conclusion:Both Jianpi Qushi Herb-partitioned Moxibustion on umbilicus and Jianpi Qushi Herb-partitioned on umbilicus have definite effects on Phlegm-dampness obesity.They can reduce obesity related indicators and improve phlegm-dampness syndrome such as abdominal fullness and softness,chest tightness and phlegm.However,Jianpi Qushi Herb-partitioned Moxibustion on umbilicus has more significant effect on Phlegm-dampness obesity.It has outstanding advantages in improving phlegm-dampness syndrome such as abdominal fullness and softness,chest tightness and phlegm and correcting phlegm-dampness constitution,It is worth popularizing in clinic.
