Clinical Research Of The Effect Of Herb-partitioned Moxibustion On The Navel For Sequelae Of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel for sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease(SPID) and to provide the scientific basis for herb-partitioned moxibustion, this study takes SPID patients as the research object treated with herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel and flour-partitioned moxibustion on the navel, taking the physical signs scale and PRO assessment scale for SPID as the main outcome measures and adopting randomized and controlled study method.Methods: 30 SPID patients were divided into a treatment group and a control group randomly, separately treated with herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel and flour-partitioned moxibustion on the navel. Comparing and analysing the physical signs and PRO assessment scale of the patients of two groups before and after treatment, statistical significance was further explored.Results: After treatment, the total scores of physical signs, and the scores of limited uterine activity or tenderness and the tenderness of left adnexa, and the total scores of PRO assessment scale, and the scores of physical dimension, psychological dimension, satisfaction of two groups compared with former were significantly different(P<0.05). But the scores of tenderness of right adnexa, the thickening or mass of adnexa, the thickening or tenderness of uterosacal ligament, and social dimension of PRO assessment scale of two groups compared with former were not statistically significant(P?0.05). Comparing the two groups after treatment, the difference of total scores of physical signs, the scores of uterine tenderness and physical dimension were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion: Both the herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel and flour-partitioned moxibustion on the navel can both improve the local physical signs, physical states, psychological states, and the satisfaction. But the herb-partitioned moxibustion on the navel for SPID patients is better than flour-partitioned moxibustion on the navel in improving the whole local physical signs, uterine tenderness, and the whole physical states.
