Study On The Application Laws Of Moxibustion Based On The Literature

Moxibustion is an effective, easy-to-use,cheap natural therapy and Moxibustion therapy has wide indications. To find the laws of the clinical application of moxibustion, for the expansion of the clinical use of moxibustion therapy and the protection of people's health and the reduction of the medical burden of the state and people, is of great significance. The purpose of this study is to explore the application laws of moxibustion therapy treatment and to provide a basis for the clinical use of moxibustion therapy and for further clinical studies by studying the clinical research literature of moxibustion therapy.1 The first part of the study is about the study of the ancient literature, that is, the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the previous literature, By studying we should understand the origin and the historical development of the moxibustion therapy and the application laws and characteristics of various period.MethodBy reading ancient literature, to identify the contents of moxibustion, from the perspective of the application, we analyze and understand the application characteristics and laws of moxibustion therapy in the literature and in the same period.ConclusionsThere is less moxibustion literature in pre-Qin Dynasty, the literature of the pre-Qin Dynasty shows that moxibustion has been becoming more and more developing.From the medical literature the Qin and Han dynasty we can see that moxibustion in the Qin and Han Dynasty has been widely used, and has the indications and contraindications of moxibustion and has formed a theory to guide moxibustion application and laid the foundation for the development of moxibustion.From the Literature of moxibustion of the two Jin and the Northern and Southern Dynasties can see the indications of moxibustion has been greatly expanded, not only it is used in Department of gynecology,Pediatrics,internal and external medicines, and also for emergency treatment. The types of moxibustion began to increase, there has been indirect moxibustion. The theory of moxibustion are getting increasingly richer. There were the records of moxibustion-prohibited points and moxibustion-carefully-used pointsMoxibustion is most prevalent during the Sui and Tang and Song Dynasties, there have been many moxibustion monographs. A lot of comprehensive medical books also had a large amount of moxibustion content. It can be seen from the literature the indications of moxibustion are becoming more and more widely. The practice of moxibustion therapy are becoming more and more rich, The types of moxibustion are becoming more and more, moxibustion operation are getting more and more standardized, The theory of moxibustion more and more complete.In the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, due to the rise of the study of the acupuncture needle application and to some degree the development of moxibustion affected. The contents of moxibustion treatment scattered in the writings of the physicians, many physicians has still made great progress in moxibustion practice, use moxibustion to tonify the spleen and stomach and treat heat syndrome. And there also appear non-scarring moxibustion and square moxibustion.China's Ming and Qing Dynasties acupuncture devoleped from the mature and complete period to the gradual decline, although the emphasis on acupuncture during this period, moxibustion still have some development. This period has as many as 21 moxibustion monographs, From the literature of the Ming and Qing dynasties, we can see that with the practice of moxibustion is getting more and more rich, on the basis of moxibustion theory and practice of previous generations in the summary of for the practice and theory On the application of moxibustion and theory more complete and mature, more and more diseasesare treated by moxibustion, More types of moxibustion appeared, such as moxa-stick moxibustion Taiyi moxa stick moxibustion thunder-fire wonder moxibustion.2 In the second part of the study clinical research literature of moxibustion in the nearly three decades were studied. I systemly collected and analysed and sorted the literature, to explore the modern law of the clinical use of of moxibustion therapy.MethodWe collected the literature on moxibustion from Chinese knowledge resources Database and Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database, Chinese Biomedical Medical Literature Database, and then I read them and get the studied the literatures in accordance with the literature of inclusion criteria. The names and system of diseases are based on the International Classification of Diseases(ICD-10). The information are collected such as title disease name the moxibustion method the acupoint the efficient year of publication with or without control group with or without random method with or without blind method with or without reference to withdrawal or dropout Jadad score etc.. The informations collected are entered into EXCEL to establish database for statistic purpose.ResultsIn this study,15 disease systems were obtained,788 clinical research literature, including the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases, the largest number of documents for 166, followed by 149 articles for the genitourinary system, digestive system diseases 142, the least is the blood and hematopoietic system disorders, only 9. Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases accounted for 20% of the literature, for the most, followed successively by the genitourinary system diseases was 19%,18% for digestive diseases. Other systems did not exceed 10% of the disease.There are total of 178 species from 15 moxibustion treatment system diseases, followed by the number of sorting symptoms, including musculoskeletal system and connective tissue diseases, largest number of 29 species, followed by the number of 25 kinds of digestive disorders, urinary and reproductive System 21, the digestive system diseases are 20 speciesIn 788 literatures 491 literatures have no control group,297 literatures have a control group. In 259 literatures with random word,187 literatures score 1 in Jadad scale,59 literatures score 2,13 literatures score 3.ConclusionsFrom the general trend the number of clinical research literature on moxibustion therapy is increasing. In particular, in recent years the increase speed up. Through analysis, this study collected 788 articles,178 kinds of diseases, each disease has an average of 4.44 literature. The disease of literature which is greater than the number of 5 have Diarrhea, Dysmenorrhea, Urinary retention, Herpes zoster, Chronic colitis, Humeral epicondylitis, Facial paralysis, Ankylosing spondylitis, Asthma, Abnormal fetal position, Knee osteoarthritis, Allergic rhinitis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Enuresis, Eervical spondylosis, Dizziness, Lumbar disc disease, Bedsores, Frozen shoulder, Abdominal distension, Irritable bowel syndrome, Sleep disorders, Sore, Leukopenia, Heel pain, Menopausal syndrome, Hyperlipidemia, Meniere's disease, Tenosynovitis, Constipation, Urinary incontinence, Obesity, Bone hyperplasia, Stomachache, Dysfunctional uterine bleeding, Cerebrovascular disease, Injection sclerosis, Diabetes, and complications, Arthralgia, Muscle fasciitis, Common warts, Abdominal pain, Prostatitis, Breast hyperplasia, Irregular menstruation, Sexual dysfunction, Superficial skin ulcers, Hiccups, Chronic pharyngitis, Soft tissue injury, totally 50 types.
