ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of cupping treatment for recurrent mycotic vaginitis. Method Three hundred and eighty-three patients with recurrent mycotic vaginitis were randomly allocated, including 188 cases to a control group and 195 cases to an observation group. The control group received vaginal administration of clotrimazole and oral administration of sporanox and the observation group, cupping treatment in addition. Re-examination was made after two weeks of treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects and the clinical scores were compared between the two groups. Result In the observation group, clinical cure occurred in 96 patients, accounting for 49.2%; marked effectiveness, in 45 patients, accounting for 23.1%; effectiveness, in 34 patients, accounting for 17.4%; ineffectiveness, in 20 patients, accounting for 10.3%, with a total efficacy rate of 89.7%. In the control group, clinical cure occurred in 78 patients, accounting for 41.5%; marked effectiveness, in 34 patients, accounting for 18.1%; effectiveness, in 33 patients, accounting for 17.6%; ineffectiveness, in 43 patients, accounting for 22.9%, with a total efficacy rate of 77.1%.The clinical therapeutic effect was significantly better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the clinical score in the two groups (P<0.05) and a statistically significant post-treatment difference in the clinical score between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Cupping can improve the clinical therapeutic effect on recurrent mycotic vaginitis and relieve its clinical symptoms.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of balance cupping plusYang He decoction in treating granulomatous mastitis (GM).Method Eighty GM patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group according to the last digit of registered number, odd or even, 40 cases each. The control group was treated withYang He decoction; the treatment group was intervened by balance cupping in addition to the treatment given to the control group. They were treated for 6 months in total. The size of lump, swollen size and infection size by the ultrasound B-scanning were observed before and after the treatment, and the clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups.Result The total effective rate was 82.5％ in the treatment group versus 60.0％ in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in comparing the clinical efficacy between the two groups (P<0.05). The size of lump, swollen area and infection size by the ultrasound B-scanning were significantly changed in the two groups after the treatment (P<0.05); the between-group comparisons showed significant differences after the treatment (P<0.05).Conclusion Balance cupping plusYang He decoction can produce a certain efficacy in treating GM.
