Study of 31 Cases on Pregnancy Obstruction of Liver-Stomach Disharmo-ny Type by Acupoint Application at Proper Times in Accordance to Meridi-an Flow Theory & Modified Warming-Gallbladder Prescription
OBJECTIVE To observe the curative effect of acupoint application at proper times in accordance to meridian flow theory & modified warming-gallbladder prescription on pregnancy obstruction of liver-stomach dishar-mony type patients.METHODS Analysis was made on the 62 cases of liver-stomach disharmony pregnancy ob-struction who were hospitalized at the Department of 0bstetrics of the 2nd Affiliated People's Hospital of Fujian Uni-versity of Traditional Chinese Medicine between January 2021 and November 2023.31 cases were treated with rehy-dration(Group A)and another 31 cases were treated with acupoint application at proper times & modified warming-gallbladder prescription(Group B).Study was focused on nausea and vomiting(PUQE)score,pregnancy anxiety scale score,urinary ketone level and conversion to negative rate,and re-hospitalization rate of 2 groups of pa-tients.RESULTS After treatment,the nausea and vomiting(PUQE)score,pregnancy anxiety scale score,urinary ketone level of all the patients were lower than before the treatment(P<0.05).The nausea and vomiting(PUQE)score,pregnancy anxiety scale score,urinary ketone level of group B were lower than group A(P<0.05).The con-version to negative rate of urine ketone in Group B was 54.84%,which was higher than Group A's 29.03%(P<0.05);the re-hospitalization rate of Group B was 3.22%,which was lower than Group A's 22.58%(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The treatment of acupoint application at due times together with modified warming-gallbladder prescription can improve the patient's nausea and vomiting symptoms,reduce the patient's pregnancy anxiety state,improve the urinary ketone level and its conversion to negative rate,reduce the rate of re-hospitalization.The opera-tion is easy and convenient to take,and the effect is better than that of rehydration.
