Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Yinhuo Guiyuan moxibustion as an adjunc-tive therapy to Yaotongning Capsules in treating kidney deficiency-related lumbago in patients with stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease.Methods Sixty patients with stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease admitted from Janu-ary 2021 to June 2023 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 30 cases in each group.Both groups received basic treatment interventions during the study period.The control group re-ceived Yaotongning Capsules orally,while the observation group received additional Yinhuo Guiyuan moxibus-tion therapy.Clinical efficacy,pain scores,renal function indicators,satisfaction scores,and adverse reaction rates were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate was significantly higher in the observation group(93.33％)than in the control group(73.33％,P＜0.05).At the 4th,8th,and 12th weeks of treatment,the VAS scores of both groups were lower than baseline values,with the observation group dem-onstrating significantly lower scores compared to the control group at the same time points(P＜0.05).After treatment,both groups showed reductions in BUN,Scr,and 24hUP levels,with the observation group showing lower levels than the control group(P＜0.05).The observation group demonstrated higher satisfaction scores than the control group(P＜0.05).No significant difference was found in adverse reaction rates between groups(x2=0.218,P=0.640).Conclusion Yinhuo Guiyuan moxibustion combined with Yaotongning Cap-sules is effective in treating stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease patients,effectively alleviating low back pain,improving renal function indicators,enhancing treatment satisfaction,with lower incidence of adverse reac-tions.
