Abstract
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of acu-moxibustion for ordinary psoriasis, so as to find a better
curative method for it. Methods A total of 60 cases of psoriasis were equally randomized into medication group[(8. 67±6. 53)
months in duration of disease, (39. 25 ± 10. 21) years in age] and acu-moxibustion group [(9. 16± 7. 37) months in duration of
disease, and (37. 38 ± 11. 36) years in age] according to a random number table. For patients of acu-moxibustion group, main
acupoints used were Feishu (BL13) , Geshu (BL17) , Ganshu (BL18) , Pishu (BL 20) and Shenshu (BL 23) , combined with other
acupoints [Hegu (LI 4) , Weizhong (BL 40) , etc. ] according to the affected part of the body. Moxibustion was applied to Shenshu
(BL 23) and the injured skin area for about 3 min every time. Acu-moxibustion treatment was given once every other day conti
nuously for 12 weeks. Patients of the medication group were treated with oral administration of Acitretin capsules (20 mg/d, for 12
weeks) . The therapeutic effect was evaluated by using psoriasis area and severity index ( PASI) scoring method. Results After
the treatment, the integrative scores of PASI in both medication and acu-moxibustion groups decreased significantly ( P＜0. 01) ,
and that of the acu-moxibustion group was significantly lower than that of the medication group ( P＜0. 05) . Of the both 30 psoria
sis patients in the medication and acu-moxibustion groups, 1 (3. 33％) and 4 (13. 33％) were cured basically, 15 (50. 00％) and
17 (56. 67％) were improved significantly, 12 (40. 00％) and 6 (20. 00％) were effective, and 2 (6. 67％) and 3 (10. 00％) in
valid, with the effective rates being 93. 33％ and 90. 00％ , respectively. The cured plus markedly effective rate of the acu-moxi
bustion group was significantly higher than that of the medication group ( P＜0. 05) . Conclusion Acu-moxibustion therapy is ef
fective in the treatment of psoriasis and is remarkably superior to that of medication.关键词
