ObjectiveTo understand the needling sensations of acupoint catgut embedding in patients with chronic bronchitis. MethodsA total of 53 patients with chronic bronchitis of phlegm-dampness type received acupoint catgut embedding therapy, Pishu point, Weishu point, Zusanli point were chosen in the first week(group A); Fenglong point, Yinlingquan point , Sanyinjiao point were chosen in the second week(group B); Gongsun point, Tianshu point, Taichong point were chosen in the third week (Group C), the integral of gas sense in the three groups was recorded and compared. ResultsThat was no significant difference in the integral of gas sense among the three groups (P＞0.05), the integral of gas sense in male group, female group, 18-40 age group, 61-70 age group was also had no significant difference among the three groups (P＞0.05). The integral of gas sense among 9 point in the male group showed significant difference (P＜0.01), but the integral of gas sense among 9 point in the female group showed no significant difference (P＞0.05). ConclusionsThe strong or weak of the integral of gas sense in patients with chronic bronchitis of phlegm-dampness type can reflect the rise and fall of good and evil, different acupoint catgut embedding has difference needling sensations, treatment maybe carried out according to needling sensations.
