Objective To observe the effects of Jingui Shenqi Wan( 金匮肾气丸) combined with acupoint application on disease controlling and the immune function in the patients of clinical remission stage bronchial asthma with kidney-yang deficiency. Methods Eighty cases of bronchial asthma patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group
with 40 cases in each group
starting treatment in Dog Days( July to August). The control group were only treated with Inhaled Budesonide and Formoterol. In addition to the treatment of the control group
acupoint application and Jingui Shenqi Wan were given for one month in Dog Days in the treatment group. Before treatment and three months after the treatment
asthma control test questionnaire( ACT) score and serum Ig E level
T cell subsets level were measured in the two groups respectively. Results In the treatment group
18 complete control cases accounted for 45. 0%
20 partial control cases accounted for 50. 0%
2 failing cases accounted for 5. 0%.In the control group
3 complete control cases accounted for 7. 5%
16 partial control cases accounted for 40. 0% and21 failing cases accounted for 52. 5%. The efficacy of treatment group is obviously superior to that of the control group( P
<
0. 01). After treatment
the ACT score in the treatment group increased
and the serum levels of Ig E
CD4
+
CD4
+
/ CD8+
CD8+increased respectively( P
<
0. 05). All the parameters in the treatment group were superior to those of the control group( P
<
0. 05). Conclusion For patients of clinical remission stage bronchial asthma with kidney-yang deficiency syndrome
Jingui Shenqi Wan combined with acupoint application can effectively improve the immune function
