ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluatethe curative effect of the integrative treatment of point injection, warm acupuncture and Chinese medicine enema for the chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.Methods A total of 86 patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory diseasewere divided into control group and treatment group, 43 patients in each group , according to the random number table. The control group was treated by warm acupuncture combined with Chinese medicine enema, while the treatment group was treated with point injection plus the basis of control group. The levels of serum CRP, IL-1 and IL-6 were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay,the plasma viscosity and hematocrit were detected by automatic blood rheological test instrument,the symptom scores of 2 groups were compared before and after treatment, the clinical efficacy was evaluated and the recurrence rate was observed. Results The clinical effective rate of treatment group patients was 97.7% (42/43), and the control group 81.4% (35/43). The difference between two groups was significant (χ2=6.081,P=0.014). After treatment, the levels of CRP (7.53 ± 3.44 mg/L vs. 10.11 ± 3.02 mg/L,t=-3.696), IL-1β (26.37 ± 13.98 pg/mL vs. 36.33 ± 4.02 pg/mL,t=-4.490) andIL-6 (23.31 ± 10.11 pg/mlvs. 29.56 ± 4.27 pg/ml,t=-3.734)in the treatment group were significant lower than those in control group (P<0.05). The scores of pain (2.13 ± 0.55vs.2.71 ± 0.62,t=-4.589), tiredness (1.07 ± 0.98 vs. 2.53 ± 0.52,t=-8.630), Body cold (1.51 ± 0.51 vs. 2.21 ± 0.67,t=-5.451), menstrual symptoms (1.27 ± 0.97 vs. 2.29 ± 0.78, t=-5.374) and total points (6.13 ± 3.94vs. 8.55 ± 1.82,t=-3.656) in the treatment group were significant lower than those in control group (P<0.05). The plasma viscosity (1.13 ± 0.25 mPa?svs. 1.41 ± 0.32 mPa?s,t=-4.521) and the red blood cells deposited (0.27% ± 0.08% vs. 0.41% ± 0.07%,t=-8.636) in the treatment group were significant lower than those in control group (P<0.05). The recurrence rate of treatment group was none, while 11.43% (4/35) in control group. Thus, the recurrence rate of treatment group was significantly lower than the control group (χ2=5.063,P=0.024). Conclusions The integrative treatment of point injection, warm acupuncture and Chinese medicine enema can reduce the level of inflammatory factors in patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, improve the blood microcirculation, and reduce the recurrence rate.
