针刺、艾灸、针加灸胃脘下俞穴治疗糖尿病临床观察

目的:评价针刺、艾灸、针加灸胃脘下俞穴治疗糖尿病的临床疗效差异。方法:随机将79例非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者分为针刺组(A组)、艾灸组(B组)、针刺加艾灸组(C组),取胃脘下俞穴进行治疗,对治疗前后主要临床症状、空腹血糖、24小时尿糖定量、糖化血红蛋白、血脂进行观察分析比较。结果:治疗后3组患者临床症状明显改善;空腹血糖、24小时尿糖定量、糖化血红蛋白、胆固醇、甘油三酯、低密度脂蛋白均有不同程度降低(P<0.05);高密度脂蛋白均有升高(P<0.05);但以针刺加艾灸组的效果最佳(P<0.01)。结论:无论针刺、艾灸,还是针加灸胃脘下俞穴,都是治疗糖尿病的有效方法,但针刺与艾灸合用效果更好。
