Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of acupoint application combined with ear acupoint pressing under the guidance of Ziwu Liuzhu on blood pressure control and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes in hypertensive patients. Methods A total of 88 hypertensive patients admitted to Zhanjiang First Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Guangdong Province from November 2018 to October 2020 were selected as subjects and divided into the control group and the observation group by random number table method, with 44 patients in each group. The control group took conventional western medical care, and the observation group was intervened with acupoint application and auricular pressure under the guidance of Ziwu Liuzhu for 4 weeks. Blood pressure, TCM symptom score and total satisfaction rates were compared between the two groups. Results There were no statistically significant differences in blood pressure levels and TCM syndrome scores between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). After intervention, the diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, and TCM syndrome scores of the observation group ([81.55±5.16],[127.39±6.85] mmHg, [8.51±2.06] points) were lower than those in the control group ([86.24±5.11], [133.52±7.04] mmHg,[13.63±2.92] points), and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The total satisfaction rate of the observation group (93.18%) was higher than that of the control group (77.27%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Under the guidance of Ziwu Liuzhu, acupoint application combined with ear acupoint pressing can enhance the blood pressure control effect of patients with hypertension, improve the symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine, and increase patient satisfaction.
