Abstract：Objective To observe the efficacy of ear acupoint moxibustion,auricular acupuncture combined with progesterone soft capsules in treating early threatened miscarriage of spleen-kidney yang deficiency type.Methods Sixty patients with early threatened miscarriage of spleen-kidney yang deficiency type were selected and divided into the control group and observation group,with 30 patients in each group,using a random number table method.Patients in the control group were given progesterone soft capsules orally,0.1 g each time,twice a day,for a total of 4 weeks of treatment.Pa-tients in the observation group were treated with ear point moxibustion,ear acupuncture combined with progesterone soft capsules,ear point moxibustion,and ear acupuncture three times a week,alternating between the ears for four consecutive weeks;the oral administration method of progesterone soft capsules was the same as that of the control group.Before and after treatment,symptoms were evaluated using traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,and serum hor-mones estradiol(E2),progesterone(P),and human chorionic gonadotropin(β-HCG)were detected using electrochemilu-minescence immunoassay to compare the clinical efficacy of the two groups.Results After 4-week treatment,the TCM syndrome scores in both groups were lower than those before treatment(all P<0.05),and the TCM syndrome scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group(all P<0.05).The serum E2,P,and β-HCG levels in the ob-servation group at 1,2,3,and 4 weeks of treatment were all higher than those before treatment(all P<0.05).In the con-trol group,the serum E2 levels at 1,2,and 4 weeks of treatment,the serum P levels at 2,3,and 4 weeks of treatment,and the serum β-HCG levels at 1,2,3,and 4 weeks of treatment were all higher than those before treatment(all P<0.05).The serum E2 levels in the observation group at 1,2,3,and 4 weeks of treatment and the serum β-HCG levels at 2 and 3 weeks of treatment were higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05).There was no statistically signifi-cant difference in serum P levels between the two groups at any time point(P>0.05).The total effective rate of the obser-vation group was 93.33%,which was higher than that(76.67%)of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Acupunc-ture and moxibustion of the ear combined with progesterone soft capsules,can relieve the clinical symptoms of early threat-ened abortion patients with spleen-kidney yang deficiency and improve the hormone level,and the curative effect is superi-or to that of progesterone soft capsules alone.
