The influence of probiotics combined with Peitu Shengjin moxibustion and cupping on postoperative patients with adenomatous colorectal polyps
Objective To analyze the postoperative effect of probiotics combined with Peitu Shengjin moxibustion and cupping on adenomatous colorectal polyps (ACP).Methods Patients with ACP diagnosed and treated in Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from August 2021 to May 2022 were recruited as study subjects,and were divided into control group(probiotics) and test group (probiotics combined with Peitu Shengjin moxibustion and cupping).The main outcome measure of this study was the 1-year recurrence rate of ACP.The secondary outcome measures were the treatment efficiency and the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores at 4 weeks and 1 year after ACP surgery.Results The study finally included 199 patients,with 100 in the control group and 99 in the test group.The 1-year postoperative treatment efficiency of the test group was higher than that of the control group (P=0.012);the recurrence rate was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of polyp size and number between the two groups of patients with recurrence (P>0.05).Before treatment,there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the comparison of stool habit score,stool nature score,blood in stool score,stool frequency score,abdominal pain score and total score (P>0.05).The stool habit score,stool nature score,stool blood score,stool frequency score,abdominal pain score and total score of the patients in both groups were significantly lower than those of the preoperative period at 4 weeks and 1 year after the operation (P<0.05).Stool habit score,stool nature score,stool blood score,stool frequency score,abdominal pain score and total score were lower in the test group than in the control group at 4 weeks and 1 year postoperatively (P<0.05).Conclusion Probiotics combined with Peitu Shengjin moxibustion and cupping can effectively improve the TCM syndrome scores after ACP surgery and reduce the recurrence rate of ACP.
