Observation of the efficacy of warm acupuncture combined with Qi-regulating and intestine-clearing formula in treating Qi deficiency and constipation after stroke
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of warm acupuncture combined with a Qi-regulating and intestine-clearing formula in treating patients with Qi deficiency and constipation after stroke.Methods:Sixty-four patients with Qi deficiency type constipation after stroke were selected and randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group(32 cases each)using random numbers generated by SPSS 26.0 statistical software.Both groups received conventional treatment.The control group received routine acupuncture,while the treatment group was treated with warm acupuncture and oral administration of the Qi-regulating and intestine-clearing formula.One course of treatment lasted for two weeks,and the total treatment duration was two courses.The constipation symptom scores,anal resting pressure and PAC-QOL scores were used to compare the clinical efficacy of the two groups after one and two courses of treatment.Results:After one course of treatment and at the end of treatment,both groups showed statistically significant reductions in constipation symptom scores and PAC-QOL scores,and increases in anal resting pressure compared with those before treatment(P<0.01).After one course of treatment and at the end of treatment,the treatment group had lower constipation symptom scores and PAC-QOL scores,and higher anal resting pressure than the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.01).Conclusion:The combination of warm acupuncture and the Qi-regulating and intestine-clearing formula shows more evident effects in treating Qi deficiency constipation after stroke.
