METHODS:Forty-eight patients of cirrhosis ascites with syndrome of spleen-deficiency and fluid-retention were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 24 cases in each one. Both groups were treated with routine treatment of western medicine combined with TCM decoction. In addition, the patients in the observation group were treated with umbilical needling therapy of I-Ching at locations of , , and . The treatment was given at 1 PM to 3 PM, once a day; 10-d treatment was a course of treatment, and a total of 20-d treatment was given. The abdominal circumference, urine volume, body mass, liver function and prothrombin time were observed before and after treatment in the two groups, and the clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared.
RESULTS:The total effective rate was 91.7% (22/24) in the observation group, which was higher than 87.5% (21/24) in the control group (<0.05). After treatment, the improvement of abdominal circumference, urine volume, body mass, liver function and prothrombin time between the two groups was significantly different (<0.05), the observation group was better.
