摘要

目的

观察艾条悬灸对高脂血症患者生化指标的影响。

方法

针对高脂血症患者, 采用悬灸神阙和双侧足三里穴治疗, 观察治疗前和治疗后空腹血糖(Fasting Blood Glucose, FBG)、 甘油三酯(Triglyceride, TG)、 总胆固醇(Total Cholesterol, TC)、 高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol, HDL-C)、 低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol, LDL-C)的变化。

结果

治疗后FBG、 TC、 LDL-C 下降(P<0.01); TG 下降(P<0.05); HDL-C 治疗前后无统计学差异(P>0.05)。

结论

悬灸治疗高脂血症不仅能改善血脂代谢,同时还可以调节糖代谢。

Abstract

Objective

To observe the influence of suspended moxibustion on biochemical markers of patients with hyperlipidemia.

Methods

Suspended moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8) and bilateral Zusanli (ST 36) was used for patients with hyperlipidemia, and the changes of fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were detected both before and after treatments.

Results

FBG, TC and LDL-C decreased after treatment (P<0.01); TG also decreased (P<0.05); HDL-C showed no significant difference (P>0.05).

Conclusion

In treating patients with hyperlipidemia, suspended moxibustion can not only improve lipid metabolism, but also regulate glucose metabolism.
