To observe therapeutic effect of drug-separated moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8) for treatment of infantile autumn diarrhea.
One hundred and thirty-six cases were randomly divided into an obser vation group and a control group, 68 cases in each group. The observation group were treated with drug-separated moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8) and the control group with oral administration of Smecta. The mean diarrhea-stopping time, the negative conversion rate of Human Rotavirus antigen in stool after treatment for 72 h, and the markedly-effective rate and the total effective rate were observed after treatment for 6 days in the twO groups.
The markedly-effective rate and the total effective rate were 79.4% and 94.1% in the observation group and 35.3% and 75.0% in the control group, respectively, with very significantly or significantly difference between the two groups (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05); the mean diarrhea-stopping time in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.01); the negative conversion rate of Human Rotavirus antigen in stool after treatment for 72 h was 88.2%0 in the observation group and 69.1% in the control group with a very significantly difference between the two groups (P < 0.01).
Drug-separated moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8) has a significant therapeutic effect on infantile autumn diarrhea, helps negative conversion of Human Rotavirus antigen in stool and shortens duration of disease.
观察神阙穴(CV 8)隔药灸治疗婴幼儿秋季腹泻的疗效。
将136例患儿随机分为观察组和对照组,每组68例。观察组采用神阙穴(CV 8)隔药灸治疗,对照组采用口服思密达治疗。观察两组治疗6天后的平均止泻时间、治疗72小时后粪便中人类轮状病毒抗原转阴率、显效率和总有效率。
观察组显效率和总有效率分别为79.4%和94.1%,对照组分别为35.3%和75.0%,两组比较差异有非常显著性或显著性意义(P<0.01或P<0.05);观察组平均止泻时间短于对照组(P<0.01);治疗72小时后观察组粪便中人类轮状病毒抗原转阴率为88.2%,对照组为69.1%,两组比较差异有非常显著性意义(P<0.01)。
神阙穴(CV 8)隔药灸治疗婴幼儿秋季腹泻疗效显著,有助于粪便中人类轮状病毒抗原转阴,缩短病程。
