温针灸对老年稳定期慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者肺功能的影响

目的：观察温针灸法对老年稳定期慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者肺功能的改善作用。方法：80例老年稳定期慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者随机分为观察组和对照组,每组40例。观察组采用温针灸进行治疗,取足三里、肺俞以及定喘为主穴,膏肓、心俞、大椎以及风门等为配穴,施以平补平泻手法,背部穴位及足三里同时予以温灸2壮,每次留针约0.5 h,隔日治疗1次,每周3次,疗程为8周;对照组采用舒利迭吸入治疗,每日2次（50μg沙美特罗和250μg丙酸氟替卡松）,疗程为8周。比较两组患者肺功能改善情况和寒热症状的变化情况、结果：治疗后,两组患者的肺功能指标（1s用力呼气量、1s用力呼气量占用力肺活量百分比、1s用力呼气量占预计值百分比以及最大呼气流量）均较治疗前明显改善（P〈0.05）,两组间比较差异无统计学意义（均P〉0.05）。治疗4周、8周后,观察组患者的寒热症状综合评分改善情况均明显优于对照组（P〈0.05）。结论：温针灸对改善老年稳定期慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者的肺功能具有明显的疗效。

Effect of warming needle moxibustion on pulmonary function of elderly patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of warming needle moxibustion on pulmonary function of elderly patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Method Eighty elderly patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were divided randomly into an acupuncture group and a drug group, with forty cases in each group. The patients in the acupuncture group were treated with warming needle moxibustion on specific acupoints. Main acupoints include Zusanli （足三里 ST 36）, Feishu （肺俞 BL 13） and Dingchuan （定喘 EX-B 1）. Matching acupoints include Gaohuang （膏肓 BL 43）, Xinshu （心俞 BL 15）, Dazhui （大椎 GV 14） and Fangmen （风门 BE 12）. The acupoints were punctured with even reinforcing and reducing method. Meanwhile, two moxa stick of warming needle moxibustion were applied separately at the acupoints at back and ST 36. The needles were retained for approximately 0.5 h each time. The treatment was given every other day, 3 times a week and the course of treatment was 8 weeks. Patients in the drug group were treated by seretide inhalation （50 μg salmeterol and 250 μg fluticasone propionate）, twice a day for 8 weeks. The improvement in pulmonary function and the symptom of chills and fever were compared between the two groups. Results After treatment, pulmonary function indices [forced expiratory volume in one second （FEV1）, forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity （FEVl/FVC）, forced expiratory volume in one second to predicted value ratio （FEV1%） and peak expiratory flow （PEF）] of the patients in both groups were improved significantly compared with that before treatment （P〈0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups （all P〉0.05）. Improvement in comprehensive scores of the symptom of chill and fever in the acupuncture group was significantly superior to that in the drug group after 4 and 8 weeks of the treatment, respectively （P〈0.05）.
