Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture on proximal gastric accommodation and gastric emptying of functional dyspepsia (FD) patients.Method Eighty FD patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group by using random number table method according to registration order, 40 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture treatment, while the control group didn't receive any treatment. The changes of symptom scores, maximum satiety threshold and 2-hour gastric emptying rate in the two groups were observed after 1-month treatment.Result The symptom scores, maximum satiety threshold and 2-hour gastric emptying rate were significantly changed in the treatment group after the intervention (P<0.01). The symptom scores, maximum satiety threshold and 2-hour gastric emptying rate didn't show significant changes in the control group after the treatment (P>0.05). There were significant differences in comparing the symptom scores, maximum satiety threshold and 2-hour gastric emptying rate between the two groups after the treatment (P<0.01). The changes of symptom scores, maximum satiety threshold and 2-hour gastric emptying rate in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group (P<0.01).Conclusion Acupuncture can significantly improve the proximal gastric accommodation and gastric emptying of FD patients.
