Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of cupping and acupoint application with Chinese medicine on the treatment of epigastric pain due to deficiency of spleen and stomach Qi. Methods A total of 80 patients with epigastric pain who met the inclusion criteria from April 2017 to April 2018 were selected and divided into observation group and control group randomly (n=40,each).The control group patients received routine stomach-protecting and acid-inhibiting therapy,and the observation group patients received the same routine therapy as control group and combined with cupping and acupoint application with Chinese medicine.The therapeutic effect of epigastric pain,abdominal pain and quality of life before and after treatment were compared between two groups. Results After 1-month treatment,the total efficacy rate in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group (92.50% vs 72.5%,P<0.05).The abdominal pain score was significant lower after 1-month treatment in both group,and it was significantly lower in observation group than that of control group (2.78±0.98 vs 5.25±1.78,P<0.05).After 1-month treatment,the Quality of Life Score (including physiological role,physiological function,physical pain,general health status,energy,social function,emotional function and mental health) in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Applying cupping and acupoint application with Chinese medicine to patients with epigastric pain due to deficiency of spleen and stomach Qi could effectively improve the therapeutic effect,alleviate abdominal pain and improve quality of life.
