Abstract
To compare the difference in the therapeutic effects on diarrhea-type irritable bowel syndrome (D-IBS) between acupuncture based on soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen and western medicine. Methods: Seventy cases were randomized into an acupuncture group and a western medicine group, 35 cases in each one. In the acupuncture group, the conventional acupuncture was applied at Tianshu ( ST 25), Zusanlï ( ST 36), Shangjuxu ( ST 37), Sanyinjiao ( SP 6), Taichong ( LR 3) and so on. Electric Stimulation was supplemented at bilateral ST 25. The treatment was given once a day, 3–4 treatments in a week. In the western medicine group, pinaverium bromide (dicetel) was prescribed for oral administration, 50 mg each time, three times a day. Four weeks made one session in the two groups. Separately, before treatment and after 1 session treatment, the integral of clinical symptom and the score in the scale of the quality of life measure for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-QOL) were observed for the patients in the two groups. The efficacy and recurrence rate were assessed in the two groups.
