| Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of the acupuncture manipulation of setting fire on a mountain at FAI and WHOQOL-BREF for chronic fatigue syndrome due to Yang-deficiency, which can provide a new and simple treatment method.Method:This was a randomized controlled trial.performed at Guangdong province hospital of TCM.66 patients who had CFS were diagnosed by the diagnositic criteria of CFS, and the diagnostic criteria of Yang deficiency in TCM. Then they were randomly divided into treatment group (Acupuncture of Li ji therapy) and control group (Dialectical acupuncture therapy),who were treated for 2 times a weeks, one time every 3 days.10 times later, FAI and WHOQOL-BREF were used for estimation before and after treatment.Result:There were 66 patients involved,7 shedding cases. The factual cases included 30 patients of treatment group, while patients of control group were 29.1. Baseline comparison of gender, age and disease course(1)gender comparison:There were 8 male and 21 female in control group, while there were 4 male and 26 female in treatment group. By Chi-square test, Chi-square was 1.85, P was 0.17(P>0.05), which indicated that there was no obvious difference. that means, they were comparable.(2) age comparison:the age of control group was 34.90±9.24, while that of the treatment group was 33.50±6.36. By t test, t was -0.68, P was 0.50 (P>0.05), which indicated that there was no obvious difference.that means, they were comparable.(3) disease course:the disease course of control group was 8.97±2.56, while that of the treatment group was 9.43±3.09. By t test, t was 0.63, Pwas 0.53(P>0.05), which indicated that there was no obvious difference. that means, they were comparable.2.observation indexes comparison:(1)FAI score comparison:Comparison in group:The FAI score of control group before treatment was 157.62±22.52, while after treatment was 91.66±35.52. By t test, t was-8.45, P was 0.00(P<0.05), which indicated that there was significant difference. that means, the therapy of control group was effective. The FAI score of treatment group before treatment was 155.67±18.86, while after treatment was 89.23± 36.12.By t test, t was 8.93, P was 0.00(P<0.05), which indicated that there was significant difference. that means,the therapy of control group was effective.Comparison between groups:Through comparing FAI score of two groups before treatment by t test, t was-0.36, P was 0.72(P>0.05), which indicated that there was no obvious difference. that means, they were comparable. Through comparing FAI score of two groups after treatment by t test, t was -0.26,P was 0.80(P>0.05),which indicated that there was no obvious difference.that meats, they had same effect.(2)WHOQOL-BREF score comparison:Comparison in group:The WHOQOL-BREF score of control group before treatment was 68.34±12.50, while after treatment was93.83±16.76. By t test, t was6.57, P was 0.00(P<0.05), which indicated that there was significant difference. that means, the therapy of control group was effective. The WHOQOL-BREF score of treatment group before treatment was68.83±9.30, while after treatment was 93.57±15.00. By t test, t was 7.68, P was 0.00(P<0.05), which indicated that there was significant difference. that means, the therapy of control group was effective.Comparison between groups:Through comparing WHOQOL-BREF score of two groups before treatment by t test, t was 0.17,P was 0.87(P>0.05), which indicated that there was no obvious difference. that means, they were comparable. Through comparing WHOQOL-BREF score of two groups after treatment by t test,t was -0.06, P was 0.95(P>0.05),which indicated that there was no obvious difference.that meats, they had same effect.3.total effect rate comparison:the total effect rate of the treatment group was 86.87%, and 86.21% of control group. By rank sum test, Z is-0.16, P is 0.87, There is no obvious difference of total effective rate between this two groups(P<0.05).4.Instant gasification reaction:While received acupuncture of Liji therapy,11 patients felt hands warming and feet cooling,and 5 waist warming,and 4 hands and feet warming,and 1 shoulders cooling.patients receiving dialectical acupuncture therapy had no obvious gastification reaction. Conelusion:Acupuncture of Li ji therapy and dialectical acupuncture therapy could improve chronic fatigue syndrome of Yang deficiency and had the same effect with dialectical acupuncture in improving score of FAI and WHOQOL-BREF.Moreover, obvious instant gasification reaction such as warming and cooling came out in group of acupuncture of Li ji therapy, indicated that this therapy can effectively improve Yang-deficiency and coldness. |
