Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus moxibustion in treating chronic superficial gastritis (due to colddeficiency of spleen and stomach).MethodTotally 112 patients with chronic superficial gastritis (due to cold deficiency of spleen and stomach) were randomized into a treatment group of 56 cases and a control group of 56 cases. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture plus moxibustion, while the control group was by using Ranitidine, both for 2 treatment courses (20 d).ResultAfter 2 treatment courses, the total effective rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01); in comparing the gastroscopic results after treatment, the total effective rate of the treatment group was significantly superior to that of the control group (P<0.01).ConclusionAcupuncture plus moxibustion can produce a significantly higher therapeutic efficacy than orally taking Ranitidine in treating chronic superficial gastritis.
