Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effect of governor vessel moxibustion combined with wenyang yiqi qiwei decoction on erectile dysfunction (ED) with spleen-kidney deficiency and to explore the possible mechanism. METHODS: A total of 130 ED patients with spleen-kidney deficiency were randomized into an observation group (65 cases, 2 cases dropped off) and a control group (65 cases, 3 cases dropped off). The control group was given wenyang yiqi qiwei decoction orally, one dose daily. On the basis of the treatment in the control group, governor vessel moxibustion was applied from Dazhui (GV 14) to Yaoshu (GV 2) in the observation group, 110 min a time, once a day. The treatment of 4 weeks was required in both groups. Before and after treatment, 5-question international index of erectile function (IIEF-5) score, erection quality scale (EQS) score, erectile hardness assessment (EHS) score, TCM syndrome score, serum testosterone (T) level and vascular endothelial function indexes (prostaglandin I2 [PGI2], endothelin-1 [ET-1] and nitric oxide [NO] levels) were observed respectively, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated in both groups. RESULTS: After treatment, the scores of IIEF-5, EQS, EHS and serum levels of T, PGI2, NO were increased compared before treatment (P<0.01), the TCM syndrome scores and serum ET-1 levels were decreased compared before treatment (P<0.01) in the two groups; the scores of IIEF-5, EQS, EHS and serum levels of T, PGI2, NO in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.01, P<0.05), the TCM syndrome score and serum ET-1 level were lower than those in the control group (P<0.01, P<0.05). The total effective rate was 88.9% (56/63) in the observation group, which was superior to 74.2% (46/62) in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Governor vessel moxibustion combined with wenyang yiqi qiwei decoction can improve the erectile function and increase the erection hardness and quality in ED patients with spleen-kidney deficiency, its mechanism may relate to improving serum T level and vascular endothelial function. 目的：观察督灸联合温阳益气起痿汤治疗脾肾两虚型勃起功能障碍（ED）的临床疗效，并探索其可能作用机制。方法：将130例脾肾两虚型ED患者随机分为观察组（65例，脱落2例）和对照组（65例，脱落3例）。对照组口服温阳益气起痿汤治疗，每日1剂；观察组在对照组基础上予大椎至腰俞段督灸治疗，每次110 min，每周1次，两组均治疗4周。分别于治疗前后观察两组患者勃起功能国际问卷-5（IIEF-5）评分、勃起质量量表（EQS）评分、勃起硬度（EHS）评分、中医证候积分、血清睾酮（T）含量及血管内皮功能指标[血清前列腺素I₂（PGI2）、内皮素-1（ET-1）含量、一氧化氮（NO）]，并评定两组临床疗效。结果：治疗后，两组患者IIEF-5、EQS、EHS评分及血清T、PGI2、NO含量较治疗前升高（P<0.01），中医证候积分及血清ET-1含量较治疗前降低（P<0.01）；观察组患者IIEF-5、EQS、EHS评分及血清T、PGI2、NO含量高于对照组（P<0.01，P<0.05），中医证候积分及血清ET-1含量低于对照组（P<0.01，P<0.05）。观察组总有效率为88.9%（56/63），高于对照组的74.2%（46/62，P<0.05）。结论：督灸联合温阳益气起痿汤治疗可有效改善脾肾两虚型ED患者勃起功能，提高其勃起硬度与质量，其机制与提高血清T含量及改善血管内皮功能有关。.
