ABSTRACT

Objective:

To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus turtle-shell-partitioned moxibustion in treating diarrhea- predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).

Methods:

Seventy-six patients were randomized into two groups 39 cases in the observation group were intervened by acupuncture plus turtle-shell-partitioned moxibustion, while 37 cases in the control group by the same acupuncture treatment, once a day, 10 d as a treatment course, for 2 courses in total. The improvements of symptoms were observed at the end of the intervention in both groups.

Results:

The total effective rate was 89.7% in the observation group versus 67.6% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).

Conclusion:
