Objective:To observe the effect of thermal moxibustion as an adjuvant therapy in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy with fundus hemorrhage.Methods:A total of 104 patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,with 52 patients in each group.Both groups received calcium dobesilate capsules and Qingyu Mingmu Decoction for treatment,and the observation group additionally received thermal moxibustion therapy.Results:The total effective rate was higher in the observation group than the control group(P<0.05).The traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores were lower in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).The blood flow resistance index and pulsatility index were lower in the observation group compared to the control group(P<0.05),while the end-diastolic blood flow velocity and peak systolic blood flow velocity were higher in the observation group(P<0.05).Both visual acuity of left and right eye were higher in the observation group compared to the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Thermal moxibustion could enhance the therapeutic effect in adjuvant treatment of diabetic retinopathy with fundus hemorrhage.
