Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Wenwei Zhitong Granules ( WZG) combined with acupoint moxibustion for spleen-stomach deficiency-cold ulcer disease. Methods A total of 120 cases of spleen-stomach deficiency-cold ulcer disease were evenly randomized into treatment group and control group. Both groups were given conventional treatment with western medicine plus oral use of WZG, and the treatment group was given acupoint moxibustion additionally. The treatment lasted for 8 weeks. The therapeutic effect on gastroscopy and on relieving stomachache, and the adverse reaction were observed. Results ( 1) The total effective rate showed by gastroscopy was 95.00% in the treatment group and was 85.00% in the control group, the difference being significant (P<0.05). (2) Total effective rate for relieving stomachache was 98.33% in the treatment group and was 88.33% in the control group, the difference being significant ( P<0.05). ( 3) During the treatment, both groups had 2 cases of adverse reaction of nausea, poor appetite and loose stool after oral use of Clarithromycin and Amoxicillin, and then the adverse reaction disappeared after two weeks. No other reverse action was found. Conclusion WZG combined with acupoint moxibustion is effective, convenient and safe for the treatment of spleen-stomach deficiency-cold ulcer disease by promoting the healing of ulcer and relieving stomachache.
