RESUMEN
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of intradermal needle plus acupoint application with Da Huang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) in preventing constipation after craniocerebral injury. Method Two hundred patients with acute craniocerebral injury were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 100 cases each. The control group received conventional nursing care to prevent constipation, while the treatment group was additionally treated with intradermal needle plus acupoint application with Da Huang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei). The occurrence of constipation within a week was observed in the two groups. Result The occurrence rate of constipation was 12.0％ in the treatment group versus 32.0％ in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Intradermal needle plus acupoint application can effectively reduce the frequency of constipation in patients with acute craniocerebral injury.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion in preventing bedsores after ischemic stroke. Method A hundred ischemic stroke patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 50 cases each. The control group was intervened by ordinary nursing care, while the treatment group additionally received heat-sensitive moxibustion. Norton scale and hemodynamics [whole blood viscosity (low-shear, mid-shear and high-shear), hematocrit and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)] of the two groups were observed before and after the treatment, and the occurrences of bedsores in the two groups were compared. Result After the intervention, Norton scale and hemodynamic indexes were significantly changed in both groups (P<0.05). Norton scale and hemodynamic indexes in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group after the intervention (P<0.05). The occurrence rate of bedsores was 8.0％ in the treatment group versus 24.0％ in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Heat-sensitive moxibustion can effectively reduce the risk and occurrence of bedsores in ischemic stroke patients, and its mechanism is possibly related to the improvement of hemodynamics.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of auricular point sticking plus moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36) in preventing spleen-stomach disharmony due to intravenous analgesia pump.Method Totally 120 post-operation patients with intravenous analgesia pump were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 60 in each group. Patients in the control group were asked to take a semireclining position, and to turn over the body and do morning exercise under assistance. In addition to the intervention given to the control group, the treatment group received auricular point sticking plus moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36). The occurrence rate of post-operation nausea, vomiting and abdominal bloating was observed.Result The occurrence rate of nausea, vomiting and abdominal bloating was 11.7% in the treatment group, versus 33.3% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Auricular point sticking plus moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36) is effective in preventing spleen-stomach disharmony due to intravenous analgesia pump, and can reduce pain and complications.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the clinical intervention effect of superficial needling at point Fenglong on gastroscopy side reaction.Methods Eighty-two gastroscopy patients were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 40 cases each. The treatment group received gastroscopy and superficial needling at point Fenglong, and the control group, gastroscopy and sham acupuncture at point Fenglong. The pain score and the incidence of nausea and vomiting were observed in the two groups during gastroscopy.Results There was a statistically significant difference in the pain score between the two groups (P<0.05). The incidence of nausea and vomiting was 31.7% in the treatment group and 65.9% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Superficial needling at point Fenglong can effectively reduce the incidence of gastroscopy side reaction.
RESUMEN
With life level improving, more and more attention has been paid to the health and subhealth. Although the thoughts of prevention the diseases had been raised in Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon and gave the direction of Chinese Medicine in interventing in subhealth condition, and the dominance of Chinese Medicine in interventing in subhealth condition in clinic has been generally accepted by the specialists, the key problem about the concepts of the health, subhealth, before sickness and prevention have not unified standards. According to the Clinical Guidelines of Chinese Medicine on Subhealth which was published by China Association of TCM and Pharmacy, the author gave personal opinions and wished to discuss them with all experts.
