Effects of blistering cupping combined with thunder-fire moxibustion on the efficacy and airway remodeling of cold-wheezing syndrome in bronchial asthma
To investigate the clinical efficacy of the combined application of blistering cupping with thunder-fire moxibustion in treating bronchial asthma of cold-wheezing syndrome
and its influences on airway remodeling
inflammatory factors
lung function
and quality of life on the base of conventional western medicine treatment.
Methods
2
A total of 76 patients with bronchial asthma of cold-wheezing syndrome were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group
38 cases in each group. In the control group
the basic treatment was used
i.e. budesonide formoterol powder inhalation. In the observation group
on the basis of the treatment as the control group
blistering cupping combined with thunder-fire moxibustion was supplemented
Dazhui (GV 14)
Danzhong (CV 17) and bilateral Feishu (BL 13)
Gaohuang (BL 43)
and Zhongfu (LU 1) were selected; blistering cupping was administered once a day and thunder-fire moxibustion was given twice a day. One course of treatment was composed of 7 days in both groups
and 2 courses of treatment were required. Before and after treatment
the airway remodeling indexes (matrix metalloproteinase-9 [MMP-9]
tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 [TIMP-1]
and transforming growth factor-β1 [TGF-β1]) and inflammatory indexes (interleukin [IL] -1β、IL-25) were detected by using radioimmunoassay in the patients of the two groups. The lung function
traditional Chinese medicine symptom score
and asthma quality of life questionnaire (AQLQ) score were observed in the patients of the two groups.
Results
2
After treatment
the serum levels of MMP-9
TIMP-1
TGF-β1
IL-1β
IL-25
peak expiratory flow (PEFR)
traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores
and AQLQ scores were decreased compared with those before treatment in the patients of the two groups (
P
<
0.05)
and the results in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (
P
<
0.05). After treatment
the first second forced expiratory volume (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow rate (PEF) were increased compared with those before treatment in the two groups (
P
<
0.05)
and the results in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
On the basis of the conventional western medicine treatment
the combination of blistering cupping with thunder-fire moxibustion can effectively ameliorate the clinical symptoms of patients
reduce inflammatory levels
inhibit airway remodeling and improve the lung function and quality of life in the patients with bronchial asthma.
