Objective To observe curative effect of the winter disease cured in summer acupoint sticking combined with TCM syndrome differentiation nursing in treating stabilization chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).
Methods We selected 33 COPD patients from outpatient clinics in July 2016,with 19 cases of men,14 cases of women,an average duration of (20.35±9.43) years,and the mean age of (62.13±9.25) years old.On the first day of every dog days,acupoint sticking was applied,generally for 2-4 hours,with a total of 3 times.Appropriate amount of white mustard,asarum,yanhusuo,and euphorbia kansui were proportionally grounded into fine powder,sieving and adding fresh ginger and making into herbal cake.Then we selected bilateral shenshu,pishu,and feishu to attach,when necessary applying to dazhui acupoint.We observed clinical comprehensive curative effect before and after our therapy and TCM symptom scores before and after the treatment of cough,sputum,and the changes of breathing.Using SPSS 13.0 statistical analysis software we compared mean with paired t test data before and after the treatment,and continuous variable data with
x±
s.
Results After treatment we got 8 cases under clinical control,16 cases markedly effective,7 cases effective,and 2 cases ineffective,with total an effective rate of 93.94%.After treatment patients with cough,cough accompanying phlegm obviously improved compared with those before treatment,
P<0.05,and the symptoms of integral was statistically significant;the symptom integral of breathing space before and after the treatment has improved,but without statistical significance.It may be relative to cases being selected and observation evaluations,thus pending further study.
Conclusion Chinese medicine acupoint sticking combined with TCM syndrome differentiation nursing in treating stabilization COPD stabilization can effectively improve patients with pulmonary function,and improve the patients quality of life.
