Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture plus ginger-partitioned moxibustion in treating diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (D-IBS). Method Ninety D-IBS patients were randomized into an acupuncture-moxibustion group (acupuncture plus ginger-partitioned moxibustion), an acupuncture group, and a Western medication group (Pinaverium bromide), 30 patients in each group. The clinical effect, symptom score, and quality of life in the 3 groups were observed. Result The general clinical effect of the acupuncture-moxibustion group was significantly higher than that of the acupuncture group and Western-medication group (P＜0.05), but there was no significant difference in comparing the total effective rate between the acupuncture group and acupuncture-moxibustion group (P>0.05). After treatment, the Western medication group showed marked decreases in abdominal pain, abdominal distension and discomfort, defecation property, and defecation frequency (P＜0.01);the acupuncture group showed significant decreases in abdominal pain, abdominal distension and discomfort, mucous stool, and appetite (P＜0.05, P＜0.01); the acupuncture-moxibustion group had significant decreases in abdominal pain, abdominal distension and discomfort, defecation property, defecation frequency, mucous stool, and appetite (P＜0.01). The quality of life score changed significantly in all groups after treatment (P＜0.05, P＜0.01);the changes of quality of life score in the acupuncture group and acupuncture-moxibustion group were both significantly higher than that in the Western-medication group (P＜0.01);the change of quality of life score in the acupuncture-moxibustion group was significantly higher than that in the acupuncture group (P＜0.01). Conclusion Acupuncture plus ginger-partitioned moxibustion and acupuncture alone both can produce a higher therapeutic efficacy than Pinaverium bromide in treating D-IBS; acupuncture plus ginger-partitioned moxibustion is superior to acupuncture alone.
