Abstract：ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of acupoint sticking therapy of winter diseases in summer treating senile bronchial asthma(BA).Methods50 elderly patients with BA from June 2012 to April 2014 treated in our hospital were selected and they were divided into normal group and acupoint group according to the admission number,and there were 25 cases in each group.The conventional group was treated routine treatment,while the acupoint group was given the canicular days acupoint sticking therapy on the basis of the conventional group.The therapeutic effect between the two groups were compared.ResultsAfter 1 year,the pulmonary function index of the two groups of pa tients with 1 s forced expiratory volume(FEV1),FEV1/forced vital capacity(FEV1/FVC)and FEV1accounted for the percent age of predicted value(FEV1%)increased significantly than before treatment,and the range of increase was greater in acupoint group(P<0.05).The number of asthmatic attack,emergency and hospitalization were significantly lower than before treatment(P<0.05),and the degree of reduction in acupoint group was significantly higher than that of the conventional group(P<0.05).The total effective rate of acupoint group was significantly higher than that in the conventional group(68.0%vs.12.0%)(P<0.05).ConclusionThe application of acupoint sticking therapy can effectively improve the lung function of elderly patients with BA,reduce the number of seizures,the curative effect is affirmative,and the operation is convenient and simple,it is worthy of recommending.
