Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of abdominal vibration therapy on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with constipation. Methods In the respiratory department from August 2013 to July 2014, eighty-three COPD patients with constipation were divided into the experiment group (n=35) and the control group (n=48) using random digit table. The control group were treated with conventional western medicine and the experiment group received impingement abdomen vibration therapy on the basis of western medicine treatment. The two groups were compared in terms of symptoms of constipation and curative effect. Results The curative effect of the experiment groups was significantly better than that of the control group (P<0.05). The score on constipation in the experiment group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The abdominal vibration therapy is effective in the treatment of COPD patients with constipation. It can improve their quality of life and be worthy of clinical application.
