Clinic Research On Treatment Of Moxibustion On Temperature-sensitive Points For Bronchial Asthma

Site of inflammation of bronchial asthma is a small airway, which repeatedly protracted course of disease, many treatment result is not significant. This study used a new therapy met-hod to treat bronchial asthma, called temperature-sensitive moxibustion which achieved good effects. This method improved the therapeutic effect through the production of temperature-se-nsitive feeling (like penetrating heat, thermal expansion, heat transfer and so on) and meridian conduction on special acupoints. Compared with the traditional way of moxibustion, it emphas-izes more sense and quantity of moxibustion.The appearance and disappearance of moxibusti-on sense respectively represent the basis of choosing acupoints and the symptom of acupoint saturation. It insist that must let the acupoint get the saturation point in order to achieve the best clinical effection.Observation of temperature-sensitive moxibustion group of patients into the group of 30 cases, fell of 2 cases, and with the effect of Seretide has been identified as a control group. Se-retide group into the group of 30 cases, fell of 1 case. Making the clinical appraisal under tra-ditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom rating scale, asthma control test (ACT), pulmona-ry function of PEF, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, MMEF and blood oxygen saturation.Conclusion:Temperature-sensitive moxibustion could effectively improve TCM symptom rating, gen-eral symptom, respiratory symptom and "hot and cold, thirst, sweat" symptom. It had a same effect with the Seretide group on the whole scoring of TCM symptom. On general symptom a-nd "hot and cold, thirst, sweat" symptom, temperature-sensitive moxibustion had a better ef-fect. However, Seretide group was superior on respiratory symptom. Both of the two methods were effective to improve ACT, and Seretide group is better. The pulmonary function and bloo-d oxygen saturation were both improved in the two groups, and the effect were equal.Overall, temperature-sensitive moxibustion for treatment of bronchial asthma had a simil-ar effect with Seretide.
