ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the therapeutic efficacy of ginger-partitioned moxibustion plus Ba Zhen decoction in treating chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).MethodSixty patients with CFS were randomized into two groups, 30 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by ginger-partitioned moxibustion plus Ba Zhen decoction, while the control group was by electroacupuncture.ResultAfter 3 treatment courses, the total effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group versus 83.3% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).ConclusionGinger-partitioned moxibustion plus Ba Zhen decoction can produce a higher total effective rate than electroacupuncture in treating CFS.
