Abstract：Objective：To observe the effect of moxibustion combined with transcutaneous electrical point stimulation on the recovery of gastrointestinal function based on routine treatment and nursing after cesarean section. Methods：A total of 128 cases of puerperas undergone cesarean section were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group， 64 cases in each group. After surgery， both groups were treated with routine treatment and nursing of modern medicine， and the observation group was additionally treated with moxibustion and transcutaneous electrical point stimulation. The recovery time of bowel sounds，the time of first anal exhaust，defecation and lactation，the pain of incision at 6，12，24 and 36 hours after surgery，as well as the incidence and degree of abdominal distension 48 hours after surgery in the two groups were recorded. Results：The recovery time of bowel sounds as well as the time of first anal exhaust，defecation and lactation in the observation group were all earlier than those in the control group(P＜0.01). The VAS scores at 6，12，24 and 36 hours after surgery in the observation group were all lower than those in the control group，differences being significant (P＜0.05). The incidence of abdominal distension was 25.00% in the observation group， lower than that of 60.94% in the control group， the difference being significant(P＜0.01). The degree of abdominal distension in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05). Conclusion：Based on routine treatment and nursing，the additional therapy of moxibustion combined with transcutaneous electrical point stimulation is conductive to recovering gastrointestinal function after cesarean section，relieving pain and abdominal distension，and promoting the fast rehabilitation of puerperas.
