Clinical Effect of Acupuncture and Xiaoxipopu Decoction in Patients with Gastrointestinal Dysfunction
Objective:To explore the clinical effect of acupuncture and moxibustion in patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction with liver depression and spleen deficiency.Method:80 patients with depression and gastrointestinal disorder admitted to our hospital from May 2020 to May 2023 were selected as the research subjects.All the patients were liver depression and spleen deficiency,which were divided into observation group and matched group,40 cases.The matched group was treated with Pinxipopu soup,The observation group added acupuncture treatment to the matched group,Comparing the clinical efficacy of the two patient groups,The Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD),the Negative Cognitive Processing Biases Questionnaire(NCPBQ)were applied before and after treatment,And compare the expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin-6(IL-6)before and after treatment,and motilin(motilin,MTL),somatostatin,gastrin(SS)and GAS),Quality of life was also assessed using the World Health Organization Quality of Life-100 scale(WHOQOL-100).Result:The total response rate of the observation group was higher than that of the matched group(P<0.05);there was no significant difference in HAMD and NCPBQ scores between the two groups(P>0.05),the HAMD and NCPBQ scores were lower in the two groups after treatment,and the observation group was lower than the matched group(P<0.05);The comparison of TNF-α,CRP,IL-6,MTL,SS,and GAS between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05),and TNF-α,CRP,IL-6,SS,GAS decreased,and the observation group was lower than the matched group,and the MTL level increased,and the observation group was higher than the matched group(P<0.05);The scores increased after treatment and the observation group was higher than the matched group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Acupuncture and moxibustion combined with Xiaoyao Powder and Banxia Houpu Decoction has a significant effect on depression with liver depression and spleen deficiency accompanied by gastrointestinal dysfunction,which can reduce depression and negative cognition,reduce inflammatory reaction,improve the level of gastrointestinal hormone,and improve the quality of life of patients.
