Abstract:
Objective:To observe the clinical effects of acupuncture treatment for gastroptosis.Methods:Forty-seven cases with gastroptosis were randomly divided into two groups.25 cases in the treatment group were treated by electroacupuncture plus ginger-partitioned moxibustion,and 22 cases in the control group were treated by single electroacupuncture.The therapeutic effects were observed after three courses of the treatments.Results:The curative rate was 56.0% and total effective rate was 92.0% in the treatment group,and the curative rate was 36.4% and total effective rate was 90.9% in the control group,with statistical significance in comparison of the curative rates between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion:Electroacupuncture plus ginger-partitioned moxibustion is better than single electroacupuncture treatment for gastroptosis.
