Kim, Ju, Kim, Park, Yun, and Park: A Systematic Review of effect on Heat-sensitive Moxibustion for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Abstract

Objectives

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Heat-sensitive Moxibustion on Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Methods

We searched articles from Academic Journals(CAJ) online databases, Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System (OASIS), Searching key words were ‘前列腺增生’, ‘熱敏灸’ and ‘열민구’, ‘전립선비대’. The search range included randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Among the articles published to 2020, 10 articles were found. After review the title, abstract and original, 3 articles were selected finally to rule out treatment combined with completely different treatments.

Result

The Heat-sensitive moxibustion at acupoints in the treatment of Benign prostatic hyperplasia were significantly superior to control group after treatment in the symptoms of patients, IPSS, QOL, PVR and Qmax(P<0.05). The Heat-sensitive moxibustion can significantly reduce the incidence of temporary urinary incontinence after Transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP) and improve life quality and satisfaction of patients(P<0.05). The individualized desensitization saturated time and amount of Heat-sensitive moxibustion is superior effective to general amount and time of traditional moxibustion in the total effective rate, IPSS, Ru and Qmax(P<0.01) for Benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Conclusion

Heat sensitive moxibustion directly transfer heat to the source of a disease. So it can be considered as a good treatment for Benign prostate hypertrophy. It was also shown a better effect on BPH compared to traditional moxibustion, According to the thermo principles of tumor, if the tumor cell’s death temperature of 43°C is reached, that can cause tumor degeneration. Therefore I think Heat sensitive moxibustion can be applied to various tumor disease. The results of this study could be applied to clinical treatment of BPH. However, additional large-scale clinical researches should be conducted.

  1. Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Sustained Release Capsules

  2. Choose the two acupoints on heat sensitive acupoint-Guanyuan, Zhongji, Shenshu, Mingmen, Ciliao with the strongest heat sensitivity to moxibustion, once a day, each time from moxibustion to heat sensitivity disappeared (30)

Tamsulosin Hydrochloride Sustained Release Capsules (30) 4 weeks IPSS, QOL, PVR, Qmax After the treatment, the effective rate of the treatment group, 96.7% and that of the control group, 76.7%. There was a significant difference between two groups (P <0.05). After treatment, The International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS), Quality of Life score(QOL), Postvoid residual urine volume(PVR) and Maximum urine flow rate(Qmax) were superior to control group(P<0.05).

During Jan 2016–Dec 2017 incidence of urinary incontinence, urine leakage times, volume, life quality score of incontinence, Zung’s anxiety scale The difference in incidence of urinary incontinence between the groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences between the groups in urine leakage times score, duration of urinary incontinence, life quality score of urinary incontinence, urine leakage volume score, Zung anxiety score(P<0.05)

IPSS and bladder residual urine(Ru) of two groups after treatment and 6 months follow–up were significantꠓly decreased(all P<0.05). The Qmax rate was significantly increased (all P<0.05). The IPSS and Ru of A group after treatment and 6 months follow–up were significantly decreased(all P<0.01) than B. The Qmax was significantly increased than B(P<0.01).
