The Clinical Research In Treating Hyperplasia Of Mammary Glands By Acupoint Catgut Embedding Therapy

Background:Hyperplasia of Mammary Glands is an ordinary disease mostly among women, which has symptoms including pain or tumour in mammary glands. It has a first place attack rate in mammary disease; the rate is ascending year by year and the age of onset becomes younger and younger. Due to a deficiency of a certain mechanism or etiopathogenisis of Hyperplasia of Mammary Glands, it just has a symptomatic treatment to this disease at present. Recently following the progressing of the clinical and experiment of acupuncture, its effects on the Hyperplasia of Mammary Glands become bigger and bigger. And acupoint catgut embedding therapy is a complexity treatment of multi-therapy and multi-effect, it has its own distinct clinic practical value.Objective:To observe the curative effect of acupoint catgut embedding therapy in Hyperplasia of Mammary Glands before and after treatment, and to approach an effective acupuncture treatment which has a tiny side effect and can utility raise the quality of life.Methods:60 patients from the acupuncture outpatient department in the first affiliated hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine were selected according to strict diagnosis criterion, divided to the treat group of 30 cases and the control group of 30 cases. Two groups select the same sets of acupoints:1.wuyi, qimen, tianzong, zusanli; 2. danzhong, jianjin, ganshu, fenglong(both sides). Treat group:treat once a week with two sets of acupoints alternated; put one month as a course of treatment, to cure two courses. Control group:treat 3 times/week(Monday, Wednesday, Friday), to cure two courses of treatment. We detected all patients'accumulated points and simultaneous phenomenon points before and after treatment. Record the data from the two groups and establish the database; analyze them by SPSS 17.0 software package.Results:By statistics analyzed, two groups are comparability from ages, courses of disease and pathogenetic condition (P>0.05). Two groups both have curative effect on mammary gland pain, tumor and other simultaneous phenomenon, and deuto-course of treatment is better than the prime course (P<0.05). The treat group total effective rate is 96.67%, while the control group reach to 100%, but the two groups have no statistical significance(P＞0.05). The curative effect between before and after treatment is significance, but the same between the two groups has no statistical significance (P>0.05). But on the mammary gland pain, treat group has a better curative effect than control group (P<0.05)Conclusions:Both two groups have a good curative effect to treat Hyperplasia of Mammary Glands, and acupoint catgut embedding therapy is better than acupuncture treatment on mammary gland pain. To compare normal acupuncture, acupoint catgut embedding therapy can cure the pain of mammary gland in a shorter time. And acupoint catgut embedding therapy is safe and has little adverse reaction, which is accepted by patients. With less times of treatment, fitting fast tempo of the modern time, it is economic and practical which is also safe, and is worth extending on the clinic.
