Opening-closing six-qi acupuncture combined with western medication for primary hypertension of liver yang hyperactivity:a randomized controlled trial
To observe the clinical efficacy of opening-closing six-
qi
acupuncture combined with western medication for primary hypertension of liver
yang
hyperactivity,and explore its action mechanism.
Methods
2
A total of 96 patients with primary hypertension of liver
yang
hyperactivity were randomly divided into an acupuncture group (48 cases) and a western medication group (48 cases
2 cases eliminated,1 case discontinued). The western medication group was given felodipine sustained-release tablets orally,5 mg each time,once a day. The acupuncture group was treated with opening-closing six-
qi
acupuncture at tender points of
shaoyang
and
yangming
areas of the head on the basis of the western medication group,once every other day. A total of 4 weeks were required in both groups. The blood pressure before treatment and after 2,4 weeks of treatment,the TCM syndrome score and serum levels of hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),interleukin-6 (IL-6),homocysteine (Hcy) before and after treatment were observed,and the clinical efficacy was evaluated in the two groups.
Results
2
After 2,4 weeks of treatment,the systolic blood pressure(SBP)and diastolic blood pressure(DBP) in both groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(
P
<
0.05);except for DBP after 2 weeks of treatment,the SBP and DBP in the acupuncture group were lower than those in the western medication group(
P
<
0.05). After treatment,the TCM syndrome scores and serum levels of hs-CRP,IL-6,Hcy were decreased compared with those before treatment in the two groups(
P
<
0.05),those in the acupuncture group were lower than those in the western medication group(
P
<
0.05).The total effective rate of the acupuncture group was 95.8% (46/48),which was higher than 73.3% (33/45) in the western medication group(
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Opening-closing six-
qi
acupuncture combined with western medication could lower blood pressure,improve symptoms in patients with primary hypertension of liver
yang
hyperactivity.Its mechanism may be related to down-regulation of inflammatory factors.
