简介:目的:观察推拿和呼吸体操治疗对缓解期慢性阻塞性肺病患者肺功能、呼吸困难、运动能力和生活质量的影响.方法:缓解期慢性阻塞性肺病患者66例,随机数字表法分为2组,推拿组(n=33)和对照组(n=33),治疗3个月.治疗前后进行呼吸困难、生活质量评分和肺功能、6min步行测试.结果:推拿组,肺功能观察指标显著改善;对照组,肺功能改善不明显.两种方法对生活质量均有提高,但推拿疗法优于呼吸体操.两种方法均能增加患者6min步行距离,均能改善呼吸困难,但两者差异无显著意义.结论:两种治疗方法显示对缓解期慢性阻塞性肺病患者呼吸困难、生活质量、运动耐受能力和肺功能有着较好的治疗效果,特别是推拿治疗对缓解期慢性阻塞性肺病的肺功能和生活质量的影响优于对照方法.

简介:目的:探讨针刺内关与郄门穴对冠心病患者每博心输出量及左心室排血的峰值流速的影响。方法:60例冠心痛患者分为内关组和郄门组,分别在运针3min后和留针20min后测试每博心输出量,左心室排血的峰值流速。再与针刺前得测试结果相比较。结果:46例患者针刺3min后Q值和VP值较针刺前上升。留针20min后,34例患者Q值和VP值全部上升。结论:针刺内关和郄门可增强左心室壁的收缩能力,使心脏的每博输出量增加,改善冠心病患者的心肌缺血状态。
