ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of Lu’s thread embedding plus medication in treating gastroptosis. Method Totally 180 patients were divided into a combined group (Lu’s thread embedding plus medication), thread embedding group and a medication group, to receive the corresponding intervention. The therapeutic efficacies and the efficacy of the combined group for gastropotosis of various degrees were observed and analyzed.Result The therapeutic efficacy of the combined group was significantly higher than that of the thread embedding group and medication group (P＜0.05). Lu’s thread embedding was more effective for mild gastroptosis than for moderate and severe gastroptosis (P＜0.05).Conclusion Lu’s thread embedding plus medication can produce a more significant therapeutic efficacy in treating gastroptosis than Lu’s thread embedding and medication used separately, and this protocol is more effective in treating mild gastroptosis.
