Clinical Observation On The Adjuvant Treatment Of Lower Limb Atherosclerotic Occlusive Disease By Thunder Fire Moxibustion

Objective:To explore the superiority of thunder fire moxibustion by clinical observation of patients with cold clotting and blood stasis type of lower limb atherosclerosis occlusive disease,and to provide new ideas for clinical prevention and treatment of lower limb atherosclerosis occlusive disease.Methods:In this study,64 patients with lower extremity atherosclerotic occlusive disease who met the inclusion criteria were selected,and the patients were randomly divided into treatment and control groups,with 32 patients in the treatment group and 32 patients in the control group.After receiving basic treatment in both groups,the treatment group was combined with thunderbolt moxibustion and the control group was combined with moxibustion for about40 min once a day,and the treatment period was 2 weeks in both groups.Before and after treatment,the changes in clinical symptoms and signs scores(such as skin temperature,skin color,pain,intermittent claudication)and microcirculation indexes(infrared thermography examination)were compared between the two groups,and statistical analysis was performed by SPSS24.0 to compare the differences in treatment effects between the two groups.Results:1.The total effective rate of the treatment group was 90.63%,and the total effective rate of the control group was 80.65%,the treatment group had better efficacy than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).2.The symptoms and signs scores(skin temperature,skin color,pain degree,intermittent claudication walking distance,intermittent claudication relief time)of patients in both groups were reduced after treatment,and the treatment group was better than the control group(P<0.05),and the difference was statistically significant.3.The results of infrared thermographic examination showed that the skin temperature of calf,dorsum,sole and toe of both groups increased after treatment,and the treatment group was better than the control group(P<0.05),and the difference was statistically significant.Conclusion:1.Thunder fire moxibustion can effectively improve clinical symptoms,signs(skin temperature,skin colour,pain level,walking distance of intermittent claudication,time to relief of intermittent claudication)and microcirculatory status(skin temperature of lower leg,dorsum of foot,sole and toes)in patients with lower limb atherosclerosis occlusive disease with cold clotting and blood stasis evidence,with better clinical efficacy.2.No significant adverse effects were observed during the treatment period,and moxibustion is a reliable and safe adjunctive treatment.
