Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture-moxibustion plus moving cupping on the back in treating sub-health in the undergraduates. Method According to the theory of preventive treatment in the Chinese medicine, 30 undergraduates with sub-health were treated by acupuncture at Baihui (GV20), Guanyuan (CV4), and bilateral Zusanli (ST36), plus moving cupping to the Governor Vessel, totally for 20 d. The Self-rating Sub-health Scale (SRSHS) was adopted for evaluation before and after intervention, for observing the clinical efficacy. Result Of the 30 subjects, 14 were recovered, 14 showed effective, 2 failed, and the total effective rate was 93.3%. The SRSHS score dropped significantly after intervention (P＜0.001). The psychological factor responded most significantly to the intervention, followed by the physical factor, while the social function factor didn’t show a significant change. Conclusion Acupuncture-moxibustion plus moving cupping is significantly effective in improving and treating the sub-health state in the undergraduates.
