|
| [Objective] To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture combined with moxibustion on chloasma.[Methods] A total of 80 chloasma patients diagnosed and treated in the outpatient department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion in Baokang Hospital affiliated to Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February 2020 to March 2022 were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, with 40 cases in each group and 4 cases lost during treatment. Finally, 76 cases were included, 39 cases in the treatment group and 37 cases in the control group. The treatment group was treated with acupuncture combined with moxibustion, and the control group was treated with oral vitamin C and E for 4 weeks.The skin area and skin color score before and after treatment were observed, and the clinical improvement rate and RGB(polarized light) color spot index were compared.[Results] The skin area score of the treatment group was (0.92±0.13) points, lower than that of the control group (1.58±0.83) points, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The skin color score was (0.81±0.32) points, lower than that of the control group (1.95±0.58) points, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The improvement rate of observation group (89.74%) was significantly higher than that of control group (67.56), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The RGB speckle index of the treatment group (34.27±2.76) was lower than that of the control group (46.31±2.68), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).[Conclusion] Acupuncture combined with moxibustion can safely and effectively improve the quality of life of patients with chloasma. |
