| ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of cotton moxibustion combined with acupuncture in the treatment of acne vulgaris,to study the clinical value of cotton moxibustion combined with acupuncture,and to provide clinical basis for the treatment of acne.MethodsA total of 66 patients who met the diagnosis of acne vulgaris were selected in the outpatient clinic and dermatology outpatient clinic of Shanxi Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine,and the patients included in the study were randomly divided into treatment group and observation group by random number table method,of which 5 were shed,61 patients participated in the trial and were included in the analysis,including 31 in the treatment group and 30 in the observation group.The treatment group was treated with cotton moxibustion combined with acupuncture,and the control group was treated with clindamycin phosphate gel external coating.The treatment period was 4weeks,and all the data of this trial were analyzed by SPSS25.0 software after the treatment.Results1.The general conditions of the pretreatment group and the control group before treatment,including gender,age,course of disease,and acne severity,were statistically analyzed,and the differences were not statistically significant(P>0.05),which were comparable.2.Comparison of skin lesion symptom points: Before treatment,the skin lesion symptom scores of the two groups were compared with no significant difference(P>0.05),and the two groups were comparable.The intra-group comparison results of the two groups after treatment were statistically significant between the two groups before treatment and after 2 weeks of treatment,2 weeks after treatment and 4 weeks after treatment,and before and after 4 weeks of treatment(P<0.05).Comparison between treatment group and control group: after 2 weeks and 4 weeks,the difference in skin lesion symptom scores between the two groups was significant(P<0.05),which was statistically significant,indicating that the efficacy of the two groups was significantly different,and the difference in skin lesion symptom scores between the two groups before and after treatment was significant(P<0.05),indicating that the two groups had significant differences in improving the symptoms of skin lesions in patients,which was statistically significant.3.TCM syndrome score: Before treatment,the difference in TCM clinical symptom scores between the two groups was not obvious and there was no significant significance(P>0.05),so the two groups could be observed.After treatment,the scores of TCM clinical symptoms between the treatment group and the control group were significantly different(P<0.05)before treatment and after 2 weeks of treatment,2 weeks and 4 weeks after treatment,and 4 weeks after treatment.Comparison between the two groups: the difference in TCM clinical symptom scores between the two groups after 2 weeks of treatment and 4weeks was significant(P<0.05),which was statistically significant.Comparison of the difference in clinical symptoms of TCM before and after treatment between the two groups:the difference between the two groups was significant(P<0.05),which was statistically significant.4.Quality of life score: There was no significant difference in quality of life scores between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05),so the two groups could be observed.After treatment,intra-group comparison: There were significant differences in quality of life scores between the two groups before treatment and 2 weeks after treatment,2 weeks after treatment and 4 weeks after treatment,and before treatment and 4 weeks after treatment(p<0.05).Comparison between groups: After 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment,the quality of life scores of the two groups were significantly different(P<0.05),which was statistically significant.The difference in quality of life scores between the two groups before and after treatment was significantly different(P<0.05),which was statistically significant.Conclusion1.The efficacy of cotton moxibustion combined with acupuncture in improving the symptoms of skin lesions in patients is better than that of clindamycin phosphate ester gel overcoating.2.The efficacy of cotton moxibustion combined with acupuncture in improving the clinical symptoms of patients is better than that of clindamycin phosphate gel coating.3.Cotton moxibustion therapy combined with acupuncture therapy can effectively improve the quality of life of patients,and the efficacy is better than clindamycin phosphate gel coating. |
