Effects of Abdominal Acupuncture Combined with Thunder-Fire Moxibustion on TCM Syndromes,Serum C Reactice Protein and Recurrence Rate in Patients with Sequelae of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Objective:To explore the effects of abdominal acupuncture combined with thunder-fire moxi-bustion on TCM syndromes,serum C reactive protein(CRP)and recurrence rate in patients with sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease(SPID).Methods:A total of 92 patients with SPID were divided into routine group(43 cases)and combination group(49 cases).Patients were given routine western medicine in routine group,while abdominal acupuncture combined with thunder-fire moxibustion on basis of routine group,in combination group.All patients were treated for 8 weeks.The response rate of treatment,scores of TCM syndromes,local pelvic floor signs(the maximum diameter of pelvic floor mass,the maximum depth of pelvic effusion,scores of pelvic signs),hemorheology(plasma viscosity,erythrocyte sedimentation rate,fibrinogen level),serum inflam-matory factors[CRP,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6)],adverse reactions and recurrence rate were compared between the two groups.Results:The combination group showed higher response rate of treatment than routine group(P＜0.05).After treatment,combination group showed lower scores of TCM syndromes than routine group(P＜0.05),and combination group showed lower maximum diameter of pelvic floor mass,maximum depth of pelvic effusion and scores of pelvic signs than routine group(P＜0.05).Combination group showed lower plasma viscosity,erythrocyte sedimentation rate and fibrinogen level than routine group(P＜0.05),and combination group showed lower levels of CRP,TNF-α and IL-6 than routine group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P＞0.05).The combination group showed lower recurrence rate than routine group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Abdominal acupuncture combined with thunder-fire moxibustion can provide significant curative effect on SPID patients,relieve pelvic floor symptoms,improve blood circulation,and reduce inflammatory response and recurrence rate.
