Therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint cryotherapy on bronchial asthma
Objective To observing the effect of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint cryotherapy on patients with bronchial asthma.Methods 118 patients with bronchial asthma were selected and randomly divided into two groups,with 59 cases in each group.The conventional group were only treated with conventional Western medicine,while the combined group were treated with traditional Chinese medicine acupoint cryotherapy on the basis of the control group.After treatment,the patients were followed up for 9 months to compare the changes in Fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO)levels,asthma control test(ACT)scores,as well as the pulmonary function recovery and occurrence of adverse events between the two groups.Results After treatment,the FeNO levels in the combined group were lower than those in the conventional group after 1,2,and 3 months of treatment,the ACT scores were higher than those of the conventional group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).By the end of follow-up,the forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1),forced vital capacity(FVC),and maximum ventilation volume per minute(MVV)of the combined group were higher than those of the conventional group,and the incidence of adverse events was lower than that of the conventional group(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint cryotherapy and conventional Western medicine treatment can effectively promote the recovery of lung function in patients,reduce adverse events,and improve treatment effectiveness.
