Abstract:
[ Objective ] To observe the therapeutic effect of acupoint thread-embedding therapy for chronic gastritis. [Methods] Seventy cases of chronic gastritis were randomized into group A ( n = 36, treated with acupoint thread-embedding therapy) and group B (n = 34, treated with acupuncture); the changes of electrogastrogram (ECG) and plasma contents of gastrin (Gas) and substance P (SP) were compared before and after treatment. [Results] The effective rate was 88.89% in group A and 76.47% in group B, the difference being significant ( P 0.05 ) while postprandial ECG frequency differed from that before treatment ( P 0.05). [Conclusion] Acupoint thread-embedding therapy exerts certain effect for the treatment of chronic gastritis; its therapeutic mechanism may be related to the regulation of gastrointestinal function by regulating gastrointestinal hormone levels and by increasing ECG amplitude and frequency.
