Abstract

Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of moxa cone moxibustion for chronic intractable diarrhea. Methods: Sixty cases in conformity with the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups randomly. Thirty cases in the treatment group were treated by moxa cone moxibustion on Pishu (BL 20) and Shenshu (BL 23), while 30 cases in the control group were treated by oral administration of herbal medicine. The therapeutic effects were compared after one treatment course. Results: The total effective rate was higher in the treatment group than that in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Moxa cone moxibustion is better than oral administration of herbal medicine in treatment of chronic intractable diarrhea.
