Efficacy evaluation of infrared thermal imaging assisted by hot compressing with silkworm excrement in the treatment of diabetic gastroparesis

Objective To observe the efficacy of the treatment of diabetic gastroparesis(DGP) assisted by hot compressing with silkworm excrement and to investigate the role of infrared thermal imaging in its efficacy evaluation. Methods One hundred and two patients with DGP were assigned to the control group(n=55) and treatment group(n=55). In the treatment group, 3 cases were abscessed, and 52 cases were observed with an abscission rate of 5.45%.In the control group, 5 cases were abscessed and 50 cases were observed with an abscission rate of 9.09%.Both groups received Western conventional treatment of diabetes. The treatment group received hot compressing with silkworm excrement, while the control group received hot compressing with a hot water bag. Both groups were examined by gastric emptying rate testing, infrared thermal imaging when they participated in the project at 2 weeks and 4 weeks. The absolute temperature(T) and relative temperature(ΔT) of the stomach cavity region, Zhongwan acupoint, abdominal region, the left and right Zusanli acupoints of the 102 patients were measured. The differences in T, ΔT and gastric emptying rate of the two groups were compared. Results Compared with before treatment, the gastric emptying rate was significantly improved after treatment and during follow-up(P<0.05).Repeated measurement analysis of variance showed that: As for the T₃,△T₁,△T₄, the interaction between groups and observation time was statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the control group, △T₃ was lower in the treatment group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions The treatment of DGP by hot compressing with silkworm excrement can improve the gastric emptying rate of patients with DGP. Meanwhile, the relative temperature of abdomen region appears to increase in the infrared thermal imaging. Infrared thermal imaging can assess the clinical efficacy of DGP.
