Objective: To observe the therapeutic results of Acupuncture and Tuina combining with laxative suppository in treating constipation caused by antisychotic drugs. Methods: 240 patients were randomly divided into Group A, B, C, and D, 60 in each group. Group A were treated with Acupuncture and Tuina combining with laxative suppository, Group B with Acupuncture, Group C with Tuina and Group D with laxative suppository. Results: The effective rate in Group A was 98.3%, Group B 95.0%, Group C 91.7% and Group D 60.0%. Univariate x 2 was used for analysis. There were significant differences among the 4 groups. Group A was compared with Group B and C ( P<0.05) and compared with D ( P<0.01). The efficacy time $$\left( {\bar x \pm S} \right)$$ was 2.41±1.87h in Group A, 2.47±1.89h in Group B, 9.81±6.12h in Group C and 15.13±6.17h in Group D. The t-test was used for analysis. The efficacy time was significant different in Group A and B ( P<0.05), significant different in Group A and C ( P<0.05), marked different in Group A and D ( P<0.01) and no significant different in Group B and C ( P>0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture and Tuina were effective, yet Acupuncture and Tuina combined with laxative suppository were more effective, and induce quick defecation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
