ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of the ongoing time of applying Musk Xiaochuan in the treatment of stable asthma and obtain the optimal therapy.Methods 129 cases of patients with stable asthma were randomly divided into 3h group (29 cases), 4h group (34 cases), 5h group (31 cases), 6h group (35 cases) according to the different applying time.The selection of points, applying frequency, treatment course remained the same, and then “dog day” was selected to apply Musk Xiaochuan paste for treatment.The asthma quality of life and asthma control pre-and post-treatment were observed.Results After applying, the asthma control questionnaire (ACQ) score difference value in 3h group was not preferable than the other groups, with no significant difference.The asthma quality life questionnaire (AQLQ) total score difference value in 4h group was significantly higher than the other 3 groups, with significant difference(P<0.05).The activity limitation score difference value and mental health difference value of AQLQ in 4h group were significantly higher than the other 3 groups, with significant difference(P <0.05), the asthma symptom score and stimulus response score difference values, health care for their own score difference value also showed significant effect (P<0.05).Conclusion The difference of the ongoing time of applying Musk Xiaochuan has different efficacy in the treatment of stable asthma, the efficacy of applying for 4h is better than 3, 5,6 h, while it could not determine the best time in asthma control.
