Abstract:Objective:To observe the clinical effect of warming-needle moxibustion combined with Qingre Huoxue tang for chronic pelvic inflammation with stasis- toxin internal accumulation syndrome. Methods:A total of 120 cases of patients were randomly divided into the experiment group and the control group, 60 cases in each group. The control group was treated with Qingre Huoxue tang, and the experiment group was additionally treated with warming- needle moxibustion based on the treatment of the control group. The changes in syndrome scores as well asthe levels of interleukin-6(IL-6) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) in serum before and after treatment and clinical effect in the two groups were observed and compared. Results:The total effective rate was 86.67% in the experiment group and 66.67% in the control group, the difference being significant(P<0.05). After treatment, Chinese medicine syndrome scores in the two groups were significantlydecreased when compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the score in the experiment group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05). After treatment,the levels of IL-6 and ICAM-1 in serum in the two groups were significantly decreased when compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the above levels in the experiment group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion:The therapy of warmingneedle moxibustion combined with Qingre Huoxue tang for chronic pelvic inflammation in women has significant clinical effect,and can effectively improve the clinical symptoms and immune function of the patients,whose effect is better than that of simple Chinese herbal medicine.
