Abstract:
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of acupuncture combined with umbilical ring point ginger-partition moxibustion for ulcerative colitis of spleen-kidney yang deficiency type, and to observe its influence on the related inflammatory factors. Methods Sixty qualified cases were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 30 in each group. Both groups were given oral use of live combined bifidobacterium, lactobacillus and enterococcus capsules, and the treatment group received acupuncture and umbilical ring point ginger-partition moxibustion together. After one treatment course ( four weeks) , the therapeutic effect was evaluated, and the changes of serum levels of related inflammatory factors of tumor necrosis alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 8 (IL-8) were observed. Moreover, the safety was monitored. Results(1) The total effective rate was 86.67% in the treatment group and 66.67% in the control group, the difference being significant between the two groups (P<0.05). (2) The serum TNF-α and IL-8 levels were decreased in both groups after treatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the decrease in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group ( P<0.05). ( 3) No obvious reverse action was found in the two groups. Conclusion Acupuncture combined with umbilical ring point ginger-partition moxibustion is effective and safe for the treatment of ulcerative colitis of spleen-kidney yang deficiency type.
