Objective To observe the clinical effect of acupoints embedding therapy combined with biofeedback therapy on patients with functional defecation disorder（FDD） and its effects on psychological status. Methods A total of 60 patients with FDD were randomly divided into a treatment group of 30 cases and a control group of 30 cases. Patients in both groups received biofeedback therapy

and the treatment group was treated with acupoints embedding additionally. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks. The clinical efficiency

constipation symptom

patient-assessment of constipation quality of life（PAC-QOL） of both groups before and after treatment were observed. Anal rest pressure（ARP）

anal maximum contraction pressure（AMCP）

defecation pressure（DP）

and anal maximum contraction pressure（ALCT） were detected. Self-rating anxiety scale（SAS） and self-rating depression scale（SDS） were compared. Results Clinical effective rate of the treatment group（92.86%） was obviously higher than that of the control group(69.23%

（P<0.05）. The main symptoms scores

DP of both groups were decreased after treatment

and ALCT was significantly increased（P<0.05）. Among them

after treatment

hard feelings of defecation

defection time

straining feeling

endless defecation

swelling and bloating symptoms scales in the treatment group were lower than the control group（P<0.05）. PAC-QOL

SAA and SDS in the treatment group and SAS in the control group were significantly lower than before treatment（P<0.05）. After treatment

PAC-QOL

SDS

AMCP

DP in the treatment group were significantly lower than the control group

and ALCT was significantly increased（P<0.05）. Conclusion Acupoint embedding therapy combined with biofeedback therapy can more effectively improve clinical efficacy of FDD patients from clinical symptoms
