Effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupoint Application Combined with Six Character Breathing Exercises on Lung Function and Respiratory Function in Patients with Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Objective To explore the effects of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application combined with six character breathing exercises on lung function and respiratory function in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods Eighty stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients admitted to the Third Rehabilitation Hospital of Shanghai from September 2020 to September 2023 were selected as the research subjects.They were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 40 cases in each group,using a random number table method.The control group received routine rehabilitation training,while the observation group received traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application combined with six character breathing exercises training,both groups were treated continuously for 3 months.Compare lung function,respiratory function,and quality of life between two groups.Results There was no statistically significant difference in lung function,respiratory function,and quality of life between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).After treatment,the first second forced expiratory volume,maximum expiratory flow,and forced vital capacity of the observation group were higher than those of the control group,and the modified version of the British Medical Research Council Respiratory Difficulty Scale score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group,and the St.George's Respiratory Questionnaire score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group,and the differences between the groups were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combination of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application and six character breathing exercises can improve lung function and respiratory function in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,and improve their quality of life.
