Experimental studies on acupuncture-moxibustion for irritable bowel syndrome in the past five years: a literature analysis
摘要
目的:
2
梳理针灸治疗肠易激综合征(IBS)的实验研究文献,分析针灸治疗IBS的主要研究方向与进展。
方法:
2
检索中国期刊全文数据库(CNKI)、万方数据知识服务平台(Wanfang)、维普资讯中文期刊服务平台(VIP)、PubMed及Web of Science数据库中针灸治疗IBS的实验研究文献,筛选时间限定为2020年1月1日至2024年12月31日,并对所有纳入文献进行数据分析。
To sort out the experimental research literature on acupuncture-moxibustion for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
and to analyze the main research directions and progress of acupuncture-moxibustion for IBS.
Methods
2
Experimental research literature on acupuncture-moxibustion for IBS was retrieved from CNKI
Wanfang
VIP
PubMed
and Web of Science databases. The screening period was limited from January 1
2020 to December 31
2024
and data analysis was performed on all included literature.
Results
2
A total of 124 articles were included
among which 66 articles were on diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D)
accounting for 53.23%. The most commonly used modeling methods were chronic acute combining stress (CAS/CACS) and restraint stress combined with senna gavage in IBS-D studies
each being reported in 14 articles (each accounting for 21.21%). Electroacupuncture was the most frequently used [50.00%(67/134)]. The core acupoints were Zusanli (ST36) (78 times
26.17%)
Tianshu (ST25) (76 times
25.50%)
and Shangjuxu(ST37) (52 times
17.45%). Visceral sensitivity was the most commonly used effect evaluation index [81.45% (101/124)]. In the past five years
studies on acupuncture-moxibustion for IBS have mainly focused on regulation of visceral hypersensitivity
regulation of inflammatory factors
regulation of intestinal flora
protection of intestinal barrier function
improvement of behavior and depressive symptoms
and regulation of metabolic disorders.
Conclusion
2
In the past five years
mechanism studies on acupuncture-moxibustion for IBS have achieved certain breakthroughs
but there are still deficiencies in the standardization of effect evaluation indexes and modeling methods. Future studies need to optimize the evaluation system
standardize modeling methods
and combine multidisciplinary approaches to deeply explore the mechanisms of acupuncture and moxibustion.
