Abstract:
Objective To compare the efficacies between auricular acupuncture combined with drugs and drug alone in the treatment of frequent ventricular premature beats(FVPB).Methods A total of 51 pa-tients with FVPB admitted to this hospital from January to December 2022 were selected as the study sub-jects,including 27 patients in the treatment group and 24 cases in the control group.The treatment group was given auricular acupuncture combined with oral metoprolol tartrate tablets,the heart and ear points and adre-nal ear points were selected,the two ears were treated alternately and the needles were replaced after 3 days.The control group was only given oral metoprolol tartrate tablets,and the adhesive tape of the same color and material were pasted at the same auricular acupoints.The number of premature beats,the TCM symptom score and clinical efficacy on 1 day before treatment and on 1,6 days after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results The number of premature beats on 1 day after treatment in the treatment group was 733(427,1 637)times,which in the control group was 2 244(1 023,2 808)times.On 6 days after treatment,the number of premature beats in the treatment group was 182(116,321)times,which in the control group was 1 025(678,1 127)times.On 6 days after treatment,the number of premature beats in the treatment group was averagely reduced by 765.49 times compared with the control group(95%CI:-976.41 to-554.56,P<0.001).On 1,6 days after treatment,the TCM symptom scores in the treatment group all were lower than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The effective rate of the treatment group was 92.59%,which was higher than 83.33%in the control group,and the differ-ence was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with drug therapy alone,auricular acu-puncture combined with drug therapy for treating FVPB could achieve better clinical efficacy.
