Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of moving cupping in the anterior cervical region plus bloodletting in treating acute pharyngitis.Method Thirty-six patients with acute pharyngitis were randomized into two groups, 18 cases each. The treatment group was intervened by moving cupping in the anterior cervical region plus bloodletting at Tiantu (CV22), and the control group was intervened by oral administration of Pu Di Lanoral liquid. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated by using the acute pharyngitis symptoms grading scale, and the adverse reactions in the treatment group were also observed.Result The two treatment methods were both effective, and the between-group difference in comparing the total effective rate was statistically insignificant (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the treatment group showed a swifter action; pharyngeal pain, dry and burning sensations in pharynx, and mucus congestion were effectively improved, the disease duration was shortened, and there were no adverse reactions in the treatment group.Conclusion Moving cupping in the anterior cervical region plus bloodletting can effectively mitigate the sufferings of the patients with acute pharyngitis without producing any adverse reactions.
