Discussion on the Application Effect of Acupoint Application Method Based on the Concept of"Treating Winter Diseases in Summer"in the Stable Period of COPD
Objective:To observe the application effect of acupoint application method based on the concept of"treating winter disease in summer"on patients with stable COPD.Methods:131 stable COPD patients admitted to the hospital from May 2020 to January 2022 were taken as the research object.The patients were divided into the test group(66 cases)and the control group(65 cases)by the method of drawing lots.The control group was only treated with conventional western medicine,and the experimental group was treated with traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application based on the concept of"winter disease and summer treatment".The improvement time of symptoms,changes in lung function and blood gas indexes,quality of life and occurrence of adverse events were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results:The improvement time of cough,sputum,asthma,shortness of breath,dyspnea and other symptoms in test groups was lower than that in control group,with statistically significant difference(t=2.932,3.333,2.422,3.373,2.483;P<0.05).The levels of FEVi%,FVC and PEF in test groups were higher than those in control group,with statistically significant difference(t=2.690,3.119,2.740;P<0.05).SaO2 and PO2in test groups were higher than those in control group,and PaCO2 was lower than those in control group,with statistically significant difference(t=3.023,2.465,3.277;P<0.05).CAT and mMRC scores of experimental groups were lower than those of control group,with statistically significant difference(t=3.410,3.155;P<0.05).The incidence of adverse events in experimental group was lower than that in control group,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=6.536,P<0.05).Conclusion:Conventional western medicine treatment for stable COPD patients and the implementation of TCM acupoint application based on the concept of"winter disease and summer treatment"can effectively promote the recovery of clinical symptoms of patients;improve lung function,arterial blood gas indexes and quality of life of patients;and reduce the risk of adverse events.
