Abstract：Objective To investigate the effects of the six-character exercise regimen combined with scraping therapy on cardiopulmonary function and activity tolerance in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods A total of 158 patients with stable COPD who were treated from May 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the re-search subjects and divided into two groups,with 79 cases in each group according to random number table method.The con-trol group was given conventional western medicine,while the observation group was given the combination of six-character ex-ercise regimen and scraping therapy on the basis of the control group,with a course of treatment for three months.The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of the two groups,as well as the TCM syndrome scores,pulmonary function[peak expiratory flow rate(PEF),percentage of forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1%),forced vital capacity(FVC)],activity tolerance[6-minute walking distance(6MWD),number of sit-ups in 30 seconds],serum immune-inflammatory indicators[procalcitonin(PCT),interleukin-8(IL-8),immunoglobulin A(IgA),IgG],and St.George's Respiratory Questionnaire(SGRQ)scores before and after treatment were compared.Results The total effective rate in the observation group was 92.41%(73/79),which was higher than that in the control group(81.01%,64/79)(P＜0.05).At 1 and 3 months after treatment,the PCT,IL-8,SGRQ score,and TCM syndrome scores and total scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,while PEF,FEV1%,FVC,IgA,IgG,6MWD,and number of sit-ups in 30 seconds were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions be-tween the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The combination of the six-character exercise regimen and scraping therapy has significant effects in the treatment of patients with stable COPD,which can improve their pulmonary function,alleviate clinical symptoms,enhance activity tolerance,inhibit inflammatory reactions,and enhance immune function,thereby effec-tively improving prognosis and providing high safety.
