热敏灸联合生物反馈治疗肺脾气虚型盆底失弛缓型便秘的临床研究

热敏灸联合生物反馈治疗肺脾气虚型盆底失弛缓型便秘的临床研究摘要：目的：研究热敏灸联合生物反馈治疗肺脾气虚型盆底失弛缓型便秘的临床疗效。方法：将96例肺脾气虚型盆底失弛缓型便秘患者随机分为治疗组和对照组，治疗组采用热敏灸联合生物反馈治疗，对照组采用生物反馈治疗，比较两组疗效。结果：治疗组总有效率为83.3%，对照组总有效率为68.8%，治疗组总有效率显著高于对照组（P<0.05）。治疗组治疗后排便次数、排便时间、排便困难程度等指标均明显改善，且治疗组治疗后的生活质量评分明显高于对照组（P<0.05）。结论：热敏灸联合生物反馈治疗肺脾气虚型盆底失弛缓型便秘具有显著的临床疗效，可作为该类疾病的有效治疗方法。
