Research on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursing Effect of Du-moxibust ion on Patients with Spleen-kidney Yang Deficiency Type Variant Rhinitis Based on the Theory of Midnight-noon Ebb-flow Theory
Objective:To explore the effect of TCM nursing on patients with variant rhinitis of spleen-kidney yang deficiency type treated by timed Du-moxibustion based on the midnight-noon ebb-flow theory.Method:A total of 144 patients with allergic rhinitis of spleen-kidney yang deficiency type were divided into the treatment group and the control group,with 72 cases in each group.The treatment group received timed Du-moxibustion based on the midnight-noon ebb-flow theory,while the control group received Du-moxibustion at other time periods.Both groups were intervened for 4 weeks.The main symptom scores,sign scores,rhinoconjunctivitis-related quality of life questionnaire scores,serum IgE,IL-2,IL-4 levels before and after the intervention,and the overall efficacy were compared between the two groups.Results:After treatment,the main symptom scores,sign scores,rhinoconjunctivitis-related quality of life questionnaire scores,IgE and IL-4 levels of the two groups were all decreased compared with those before treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Moreover,the main symptom scores,sign scores,rhinoconjunctivitis-related quality of life questionnaire scores,IgE and IL-4 levels of the treatment group were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).The IL-2 levels of the two groups were increased compared with those before treatment,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05),and the IL-2 level of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).The total clinical effective rate of the treatment group was 93.06%(67/72),which was higher than 81.94%(59/72)of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Timed Du-moxibustion based on the midnight-noon ebb-flow theory can effectively improve the related symptoms and signs of patients with allergic rhinitis and improve their quality of life.Its mechanism of action may be related to regulating the secretion levels of IgE and related inflammatory factors IL-2 and IL-4,and correcting the Th1/Th2 immune imbalance.
