Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of acupoint application therapy in the treatment of asthmatic bronchial pneumonia.Methods From January 2016 to January 2018, 450 children with asthmatic bronchial pneumonia treated in our hospital were selected as the research subjects.They were divided into the experimental group (n=225)and the control group (n=225) according to envelope randomization.Patients in the control group were treated with conventional treatment, and in the experimental group, they were treated with acupoint application on the basis of conventional treatment.The therapeutic effect, time of symptoms disappearing, respiratory function and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the experimental group was 95.56%, which was higher than that of the control group accounting for 81.78%, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The disappearing time of lung rales, cough, and wheezing in the experimental group was shorter than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The levels of volume to peak expiratory flow (VPEF)/ total expiratory volume (VE), time to reach peak tidal expiratory flow (TPTEF)/ total expiratory time (TE) after treatment in the two groups were higher than those before treatment, and the levels of VPEF/VE and TPTEF/TE after treatment in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The total incidence of adverse reactions in the experimental group was 7.11%, which was lower than that in the control group accounting for 18.22%, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Children with asthmatic bronchial pneumonia receiving acupoint application have good effect, with low incidence of adverse reactions,which can improve their respiratory function.
