Abstract:
Objective Evaluating the effects of Bushen-Gufeigao and breathing movements on the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of Lung and kidney deficiency TCM pattern. Methods The patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of lung and kidney deficiency TCM pattern were recruited and randomly divided into two groups the treatment group (32 cases) and the control group (34 cases). The control group was treated with the conventional medicine, and the treatment group were added Bufei-Gushengao and breathing movements based on the treatment of control group. Both groups were treated for 1 month. The changes of the clinical symptoms, lung function and frequency of attack and duration of each attack in 10 months after treatment were observed. Results After the treatment, compared with the control group, the TCM patterns scores (5.32 ± 2.67 vs. 9.12 ± 4.11, t=4.424) of the treatment group significantly decreased, while the FVC (3.00 ± 0.49 L vs. 2.71 ± 0.47 L, t=2.408), FEV1 (2.27 ± 0.44 L vs. 1.85 ± 0.54 L, t=3.496), and the percentage of FEV1%(75.62 ± 6.84 vs. 66.86 ± 9.32, t=4.333) increased significantly. In the 10 mouths after the treatment, the treatment group showed significantly fewer patients who had attacked more than 6 times than that in the control group, and the duration of attacks showed significantly fewer minutes in the treatment group than the control group (5.56 ± 1.45 d vs. 8.06 ± 1.80 d, t=6.190). Conclusion Bushen-Gufeigao and breathing movements can effectively improve patient's lung function and symptoms.
