To observe the difference in the clinical efficacy on female chronic pyelonephritis between abdominal cluster-needling therapy and western medicine so as to explore the optimal therapeutic method for the disease.
Seventy cases of female chronic pyelonephritis were randomized into an abdominal cluster-needling group and levofloxacin group, 35 cases in each one. In the abdominal cluster-needling group, the lower abdominal point was selected in combination with Zusanli (ST 36), Sanyinjiao (SP 6) and Taixi (KI 3). The treatment was given once a day and 10 treatments made one session. In the levofloxacin group, levofloxacin capsules were prescribed for oral administration, once a day. Three months later, the clinical efficacy was observed before and after treatment in two groups.
The curative rate was 65.7% (23/35) and the total effective rate was 100.0% (35/35) in the abdominal cluster-needling group. The curative rate was 22.9%, (8/35) and the total effective rate was 71.4% (25/35) in the levofloxacin group. The clinical efficacy in the abdominal cluster-needling group was superior to that in the levofloxacin group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05).
The abdominal cluster-needling therapy achieves the significant efficacy on female chronic pyelonephritis and it is the optimal therapy for the disease.
观察腹针丛刺疗法与西药治疗女性慢性肾盂肾炎的临床疗效差异，以探寻该病的最佳治疗方法。
将70例女性慢性肾盂肾炎患者随机分为腹针丛刺组和左氧氟沙星组，每组35例。腹针丛刺组选取下腹部穴位并配合足三里（ST36）、三阴交（SP6）、太溪（KI3）进行治疗，每天1次，10次为1个疗程。左氧氟沙星组口服左氧氟沙星胶囊，每天1次。3个月后，观察两组治疗前后的临床疗效。
腹针丛刺组治愈率为65.7%（23/35），总有效率为100.0%（35/35）；左氧氟沙星组治愈率为22.9%（8/35），总有效率为71.4%（25/35）。腹针丛刺组临床疗效优于左氧氟沙星组（P<0.01，P<0.05）。
腹针丛刺疗法治疗女性慢性肾盂肾炎疗效显著，是该病的最佳治疗方法。
