Effect of Moxibustion Therapy on Lymph Node Size and Clinical Symptoms in Children with Acute Mesenteric Lymphadenitis of Spleen Stomach Deficiency Cold Type
Objective Exploring the effect of moxibustion therapy on lymph node size and clinical symptoms in children with acute mesenteric lymphadenitis of spleen stomach deficiency cold type.Methods A total of 120 children with acute mesenteric lymphadenitis of spleen stomach deficiency cold type treated in Jinan Municipal Government Hospital from November 2021 to April 2024 were selected as the research objects,and were divided into a control group and an observation group according to random number table method,with 60 cases in each group.The control group received conventional treatment,and the observation group was combined with moxibustion therapy on the basis of the control group,both groups were treated for 10 days.The clinical efficacy,clinical symptoms,lymph node size,immunologic function and occurrence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 96.67%,which was higher than 85.00%of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Fever disappeared for(2.66±0.25)d,loss of appetite disappeared for(3.57±0.22)d,abdominal pain disappeared for(3.23±0.21)d,vomiting disappeared for(1.23±0.10)d,which were shorter than(3.39±0.34)d,(5.52±0.51)d,(5.31±0.19)d,(2.19±0.21)d in the control group,and the differences between the groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the transverse diameter and longitudinal diameter of lymph nodes in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group,and the differences between groups were statistically significant(P<0.05);the levels of immunoprotein G and immunoprotein A in observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences between the groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).There were no obvious adverse reactions in both groups.Conclusion Moxibustion therapy can effectively alleviate clinical symptoms in children with acute mesenteric lymphadenitis of spleen stomach deficiency cold types,shorten the transverse and longitudinal diameter of lymph nodes,improve immune function,and high safety.
