Evaluation of clinical efficacy of Buzhong Yiqi Decoction combined with umbilical moxibustion on Qi deficiency constipation

Objective It is to observe the clinical effect of Buzhong Yiqi Decoction combined with umbilical moxibustion on Qi deficiency constipation.Methods A total of 100 patients with Qi deficiency constipation admitted to the Department of Geriatrics of Shijiazhuang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January to August 2019 were selected as the research objects.They were randomly divided into control group(n=30),Buzhong Yiqi group(n=35)and combination group(n=35),the patients in the control group were treated with Huangqi granules,the patients in the Buzhong Yiqi group were treated with Buzhong Yiqi Decoction,and the patients in the combination group were treated with Buzhong Yiqi Decoction and umbilical moxibustion.All the 3 groups were treated for 4 weeks.The defecation indicators(defecation interval,stool quality,defecation difficulty and defecation speed score)and the levels of serum motilin(MTL)and substance P were before and after treatment were compared in the three groups,the clinical efficacy and recurrence rate after 6 month’s follow-up of the three groups were counted.Results The scores of defecation interval,stool quality,defecation difficulty,and defecation speed after treatment in the three groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0.05).The scores in the combination group were lower than those in the Buzhong Yiqi group(P<0.05),and the Buzhong Yiqi group was lower than the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the levels of MTL and substance P in the three groups were significantly increased(P<0.05),the levels in the combination group were significantly higher than those in the Buzhong Yiqi group(P<0.05),and the Buzhong Yiqi group was significantly higher than the control group(P<0.05);the total effective rate of the treatment in the combination group was significantly higher than that in Buzhong Yiqi group(P<0.05),and the Buzhong Yiqi group was significantly higher than the control group(P<0.05);the recurrence rate of combination group was lower than that in the Buzhong Yiqi group,and Buzhong Yiqi group was lower than control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Buzhong Yiqi Decoction combined with umbilical moxibustion can significantly improve the quality of defecation and reduce the recurrence rate in the treatment of Qi-deficiency constipation.The mechanism may be related to the regulation of the levels of body’s MTL and substance P.
