Abstract
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture-moxibustion therapy plus Chinese medical decoction as assistant in treating liver cirrhosis ascites. Method Ninety-five patients with liver cirrhosis ascites were divided into an observation group (48 cases) and a control group (47 cases) by the random number table. The control group was given Chinese medical decoction, while the observation group was additionally given acupuncture-moxibustion therapy. The clinical effects were compared after treatment. The alanine transaminase (ALT), total bilirubin (TBIL), albumin (ALB), clinical symptom score, 24-h urine volume, abdominal circumference, and body weight were recorded before and after treatment. The patient's satisfaction rates after treatment were also compared.Result The total effective rate was 93.8％ in the observation group, significantly higher than 74.5％ in the control group (P<0.05); the levels of ALT and TBIL dropped after treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and the levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05); the ALB level increased after treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and the observation group was markedly higher than the control group (P<0.05); the clinical symptom score dropped after treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05); the 24-h urine volume increased after treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and the observation group was markedly higher than the control group (P<0.05). The abdominal circumference and body weight dropped after treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05); the satisfaction rate was 87.5％ in the observation group after treatment, significantly higher than 68.08％ in the control group (P<0.05).
