To observe the therapeutic effect of moxibustion on AIDS patients of spleen-kidney yang-deficiency.
Sixty-six cases of AIDS were divided into a treatment group and a control group, 33 cases in each group. All of the patients were treated with HAART, with moxibustion at Tianshu (ST 25), Shenque (CV 8), Zhongwan (CV 12), Guanyuan (CV 4) added in the treatment group for 3 months. Clinical symptoms and cell immunity were recorded before and after treatment.
After treatment, the effective rate was 90.9% in the treatment group, which was better than 66.7% in the control group (P < 0.05). The improvement of the score for clinical symptoms in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group (P < 0.01). After treatment, the CD4 lymphocyte counts increased in the two groups, with no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). Additionally, increase of total lymphocyte count in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group (P < 0.05).
Moxibustion can increase the therapeutic effect of HAART on AIDS patients and increase the total lymphocyte count.
观察艾灸对脾肾阳虚型艾滋病患者的治疗效果。
将66例艾滋病患者分为治疗组和对照组,每组33例。所有患者均接受高效抗逆转录病毒治疗(HAART),治疗组在此基础上加用艾灸天枢(ST25)、神阙(CV8)、中脘(CV12)、关元(CV4),治疗3个月。记录治疗前后的临床症状及细胞免疫情况。
治疗后,治疗组有效率为90.9%,优于对照组的66.7%(P<0.05)。治疗组临床症状评分改善情况优于对照组(P<0.01)。治疗后,两组CD4淋巴细胞计数均升高,两组间差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。此外,治疗组总淋巴细胞计数升高情况优于对照组(P<0.05)。
艾灸可提高HAART对艾滋病患者的治疗效果,并增加总淋巴细胞计数。
