Abstract:
This study was aimed to explore the clinical effect of San-Jiao (SJ) acupuncture combined with Chinese medicine and Cisapride tablets in the treatment of senile constipation. A total of 118 patients were selected according to the inclusion criteria. According to the visiting sequence, patients were randomly divided into the acupuncture with Chinese medicine group of 60 cases and drug group of 58 cases. In the acupuncture with Chinese medicine group, SJ acupuncture was combined with Huang-Di (HD) powder in the treatment. In the drug group, Cisapride tablets were applied. Both groups were treated for 20 times. The scale was used in the comprehensive evaluation of integral effect evaluation of main symptoms, psychological evaluation before and after the treatment. The results showed that there was significant difference on the integral before and after treatment in both groups (P< 0.01). The posttreatment integral showed that the acupuncture with Chinese medicine group was better than the drug group (P<0.01). There was no significant difference on total effective rate between two groups. However, comparison on good improvement rate showed that the acupuncture with Chinese medicine group was better than the drug group (χ2 =28.25, P < 0.01). It was concluded that the acupuncture with Chinese medicine group had better effect on the im-provement of clinical symptom integral, psychological integral, and comprehensive effect evaluation. SJ acupuncture combined with HD powder was a safe treatment method with good effect.
