Abstract
- This study aimed to assess the therapeutic efficacy of moxibustion assisted therapy in combination with Qishen Tongmai Yin No. 1 on arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) patients. The impact on clinical symptoms, sign scores, foot dorsum temperature, foot dorsum artery blood flow, and overall clinical efficacy were analyzed. Sixty-three ASO patients from Beijing Xiaotangshan Hospital and Beijing Shijitan Hospital (January 2020-December 2021) were divided into 3 groups: a Qi Shen Tong Mai Yin I-only group, a moxibustion-only group, and a combined treatment group receiving both moxibustion and Qi Shen Tong Mai Yin No. 1. The treatment group took Qi Shen Tong Mai Yin No. 1 orally 3 times daily for 1 month. Moxibustion, employing a mild method, was applied once daily for 35 minutes over a month. Key acupoints included bilateral kidney Shu, Guan Yuan, Ming Men, Zu San Li, Wei Zhong, San Yin Jiao, and Yao Yang Guan. Posttreatment, clinical symptom scores, and dorsum foot parameters were measured, including foot temperature and dorsum foot artery blood flow. Total effective and cure rates were calculated. Pretreatment, no significant differences existed among the 3 groups (P > .05). Posttreatment, the clinical efficacy, dorsalis pedis temperature, dorsalis pedis artery blood flow, and symptom scores significantly improved in all groups (P < .05). Differences in these indicators were also significant among the 3 groups (P < .05). Moxibustion assisted therapy combined with Qishen Tongmai Yin No. 1 enhances total effective and cure rates in ASO patients, improving foot temperature, blood flow, microcirculation, and overall clinical efficacy. Additionally, this combination reduces scores for intermittent claudication, pain, skin temperature, soreness, skin color, and numbness, mitigating disease progression. Safety evaluation indicated no adverse events during treatment, demonstrating the safety of the combined therapy.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have no funding and conflicts of interest to disclose.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 the Author(s).
