Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical effect of Fu's subcutaneous needling combined with western medicine in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome(IBS).Methods A total of 112 patients with IBS were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,with 56 patients in each group.The control group was given conventional western medicine treatment,and the observation group was treated with Chinese medicine Fu's subcutaneous needling on the basis of the treatment in the control group.Both groups were treated for 4 consecutive weeks.After 1 month of treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated,and the changes in the IBS system severity system(IBS-SSS)scores were observed before and after the treatment,as well as the time of the symptoms of abdominal pain,bloating and diarrhoea subsiding in the two groups,and the changes in the defecation thresholds,pain thresholds,sensory thresholds and the changes in the numbers of intestinal flora such as Bifidobacterium,Lactobacillus,Enterobacteriaceae,and Bacteriodendrobacteriaceae in the two groups were compared.The changes in the levels of vasoactive intestinal peptide,gastric motility and substance P were observed in the two groups.The safety and occurrence of adverse reactions were also evaluated in the two groups.Results(1)The total effective rate of the observation group was 96.43%(54/56),and the control group was 83.93%(47/56).The efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).(2)The time for abdominal pain,abdominal distension and diarrhoea to subside was significantly shorter in the observation group than in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant when compared with the control group(P<0.05).(3)After treatment,the defecation threshold,pain threshold,and sensation threshold of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in terms of improving defecation threshold,pain threshold,and sensation threshold,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).(4)After treatment,the numbers of Bifidobacterium,Lactobacillus,Enterobacter,Bacteroides were significantly improved in the two groups(P<0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in terms of improving the numbers of Bifidobacterium,Lactobacillus,Enterobacter and Bacteroides,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).(5)After treatment,the levels of vasoactive intestinal peptide,gastric actin,and substance P of the patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving the levels of vasoactive intestinal peptide,gastric actin,and substance P,and the differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05).(6)There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Fu's subcutaneous needling combined with western medicine in the treatment of IBS can significantly shorten the relief time of patients'clinical symptoms,strengthen patients'gastrointestinal function,regulate the number of intestinal flora and improve the function of gastrointestinal mucous membrane barrier,and the therapeutic efficacy is remarkable.
