| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint application in the treatment of patients with high body mass index (BMI) asthma.[Methods] Chronic persistent patients with high BMI asthma were enrolled in the study,and patients with normal body mass index chronic persistent asthma were used as controls. Observe the differences in the changes in symptoms,asthma control,seizures,and medication in the two groups in the 1 year after acupoint application.[Results] The score of symptoms after treatment was lower than that before(P<0.05). After treatment,the total ACT score of patients in each group was higher than that before(P<0.05). The difference value before and after treatment was compared between groups,and it was significantly increased in the non-control group compared with the partial control group (P<0.05). The cumulative incidence of acute attack after treatment decreased from 48.39% to 20.97% in the normal weight group and from 41.03% to 6.41% in the high BMI group. After treatment,the withdrawal rate and dosage reduction rate of the high BMI group were 39.7% and 28.2%,respectively,which were higher than the 35.5% and 22.6% of the normal weight group. The rate of no change was 32% in the high BMI group,which was lower than 41.9% in the normal weight group.[Conclusion] Acupoint application for the treatment of high BMI asthma patients has more obvious effects on the number of acute attacks,and there is a certain advantage in improving the drug withdrawal rate. |
