Effect observation of acupoint plaster based on the theory of meridian stream of time-choosing in patients with bronchial asthma

ABSTRACT:Objective To observe the effect of acupoint plaster based on the theory of meridian stream of time-choosing in patients with bronchial asthma.Methods 200 bronchial asthma patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group with 100 patients in each group.The experimental group were applied acupoint plaster on Shen time of 15:00-17:00 of the hottest time of summer while the control group were applied plasters on different time of Shen time on the early,middle and Mofu time in the summer for three times in total.Effective rate,the quality of life and psychological status of patients in two groups were compared in the summer.Re-sults Efficacy of anti-recurrence,quality of life and mental state of patients in experimental group were significantly better than that in control group,which showed statistically significant difference (P <0.05).Conclusion Meridian stream of acupoint plaster can significantly improve the thera-peutic efficacy of bronchial asthma,so it is worthy of clinical popularization and application.
