Heat-Sensitive Acupoint Of Moxibustion Treatment For Short-term And Long-term Lung Ventilation Function Of Chronic Bronchial Asthma In Clinical Research

ObjectivesTo observe the short-term and long-term effects of heat-sensitive moxibustion therapy on lung ventilation function of patients with chronic asthma and evaluate the therapeutic effect of heat-sensitive moxibustion, security and clinical application of feasibility. Meanwhile by observing the heat-sensitivity phenomenon regular, to discuss the mechanism and futher study and popularize the therapy of heat-sensitive moxibustion.Methods1 45 cases of BA patients selected from Wuhan Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital were randomized intotreatment group, control group and western medicine therapy group, and 15 cases in each group.2 The treatment group took the heat-sensitive moxibustion on the heat-sensitivity point between the Feishu and Geshu. The control group took conventional moxibustion on the point of Fengchi,Dingchuan and Feishu The western medicine therapy group used the inhaler of Seretide.3 Observation index:(1)Three groups continued treatment for 3 months and assessed its clinical short-term and long-term curative effect by lung ventilation function (FEV1 and PEF). (2) Record the rate and parts of the observed before and after treatment symptom score, as well as the changes heat-sensitivity phenomenon in the process.Results1 Comparison of FEV1 score:After treatment, three groups of patients'FEV1 were improved, but the comparison between treatment group and control group had no statistical significance (P> 0.05), the comparison between treatment group and western medicine therapy group had no statistical significance(P>0.05); During a follow-up period of six months, the comparison between treatment group and control group had statistical significance (P<0.05), the comparison between treatment group and western medicine therapy group had no statistical significance (P<0.05).After three months, the change of FEV1 in treatment group was not statistical significant (P>0.05), the change of FEV1 in control group was not statistical significant (P>0.05), and the change of FEV1 in westen medicine group was not statistical significant (P> 0.05); but after six months, the FEV1 in each group was not at the same level. The change of FEV1 in treatment group was not statistical significant (P>0.05),which meant the level of FEV1 was not decreased; The change of FEV1 in other tow groups was statistical significant (P<0.05),because the level of FEV1 was obviously decreased.2 Comparison of PEF score:After treatment, three groups of patients'PEF were promoted, but the comparison between treatment group and control group had statistical significance (P<0.05), the comparison between treatment group and western medicine therapy group had statisticalsignificance (P<0.05); During a follow-up period of six months,the comparison between treatment group and control group had statistical significance (P<0.05), the with comparison between treatment group and western medicine therapy group had statistical significance (P<0.05).After three months, the change of PEF in treatment group was not statistical significant (P<0.05), the change of PEF in control group was statistical significant (P<0.05), and the change of PEF in westen medicine group was statistical significant (P<0.05);but after six months, the FEV1 in each group was not at the same level. The change of FEV1 in treatment group was not statistical significant(P> 0.05), which meant the level of FEV1 was not decreased; The change of FEV1 in other tow groups was statistical significant (P< 0.05), because the level of FEV1 was obviously decreased.3 Records of the heat-sensitivity phenomenon:In the first month, parts of the heat-sensitivity phenomenon were back and head, the rate was 60.0% and 33.3%; In the second month, parts of the heat-sensitivity phenomenon were back and head, the rate was 66.6% and 20.0%; in the third month, parts of hear-sensitivity phenomenon were Upper limbs, the rate was 86.6%.4 Safety observation:Both patients had no apparent adverse reactions, patients can be tolerated, two patients were completion of the pilot, there is no cases of serious adverse reactions due to interruption of treatment.ConclusionsThe Heat-sensitive moxibustion can significantly improve the lung ventilation function of patients with chronic asthma, especially FEV1 and PEF. Through moxibustion on spinal nerve of pionts in back and adjustment transmission function of nerve fiber, the therapy promoted the lung ventilation function to control chronic asthma. Meanwhilethe curative effect is lasting, it is security and deserves further application and popularize.
