Abstract：Objective:To explore the effect of bamboo moxibustion on chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG)with spleen and stomach weakness.Methods:All 80 patients with CAG with spleen and stomach weakness admitted to hospital from January 2021 to November 2022 were selected and divided into two groups according to random number table method,with 40 cases in each group.The control group was treated with supplemented Liujunzi decoction and Weifu-chun tablet,and the treatment group was treated with bamboo ring moxibustion on this basis.The clinical efficacy,TCM main syndrome scores,gastroscopy and histopathological changes and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).After 3 months of treatment,the scores of TCM main syndrome,gastroscopy and histopathology in the two groups were lower than before treatment,and the scores in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).During treatment,there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion:On the basis of conventional Chinese medicine treatment,the effect of bamboo moxibustion in the treatment of CAG with spleen and stomach weakness is significant,which can effectively reduce the symptoms of Chinese medicine,improve the results of gastroscopy and pathological examination,and do not increase the adverse reactions.
