Abstract:

Objective: To explore the effect of auricular point pressing combined with thunder-fire moxibustion in the treatment of abdominal distension and constipation after thoracic compression fracture.

Methods: Totally 100 patients were randomly divided into 4 groups, the observation group 1 (n = 25) which were treated with conventional nursing combined with auricular piont pressing, observation group 2 (n = 25) treated with conventional nursing combined with thunder-fire moxibustion, observation group 3 (n = 25) treated with conventional nursing combined with auricular point pressing and thunder-fire moxibustion, and the control group (n = 25) which adopted conventional nursing. First exhaust and defecation time after fracture in 4 groups were observed and compared.

Results: The effect of observation group 3 was better than that of observation group 2, observation group 1 and control group (P<0.05).

Conclusion: It is obvious that auricular point pressing combined with thunder-fire moxibustion has better result in treating abdominal distension and constipation after thoracic compression fracture.
