| Summary: | Objective:To observe the effect of moxibustion according to syndrome differentiation on the rehabilitation of muscle function in patients with maintenance hemodialysis.Methods:A total of 92 patients seclected from five hospitals with maintenance hemodialysis were randomly assigned to the treatment group and the control group by using central randomization system. Both groups received Western conventional treatment, while the treatment group were added with moxibustion according to syndrome differentiation. The observation cycle was twelve weeks. Cardiopulmonary endurance (six minutes walking distance, heart rate and blood pressure product), muscle endurance (such as grip strength, grip strength endurance) and the quality of life assessment (the score of kidney disease quality of life KDQOL-SF<sup>TM</sup>1.3) were observed and recorded before and after treatment to evaluate the efficiency of moxibustion based on syndrome differentiation.Results:After twelve-week treatment, the six minutes walking distance was extended in the treatment group (<italic>P</italic><0.05); there was significant difference on six minutes walking distance between the two groups after treatment (<italic>P</italic><0.05). After treatment, the sleep status was better than that before treatment (<italic>P</italic><0.05), and the overall health score in treatment group was better than that of the control group (<italic>P</italic><0.05).Conclusion:Moxibustion based on syndrome differentiation can extend six minutes walking distance, and improve the patient's sleep and overall health status. This program provides a simple and effective traditional Chinese medicine treatment to improve the muscle function in patients with maintenance hemodislysis. |
