摘要
目的探讨足反射区疗法对稳定期慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者运动耐力和呼吸困难症状的影响。方法将60例稳定期COPD患者随机分为试验组与对照组。对照组进行常规护理,试验组在对照组的基础上进行足反射区疗法干预3个月。干预前后对两组患者的运动耐力和呼吸困难症状进行评价比较。结果干预3个月后试验组测量6 min步行距离(6 MWD)明显提高(提高幅度为31.77±10.89 m),且将试验组与对照组试验后6 MWD的提高幅度即6 MWD差值进行组间比较,二者存在统计学显著差异(P<0.01);试验组患者的呼吸困难症状改善情况明显优于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论足反射区疗法能提高稳定期COPD患者的运动耐力,改善呼吸困难症状。
Objective To explore the efficacy of reflex zone therapy on exercise tolerance and dyspnea in patients with stable COPD. Methods Sixty patients with stable COPD were randomly allocated into trim and control groups. Patients in control group received routine nursing care, and patients in trial group were treated on the basis of routine nursing in addition with intervention of reflex zone therapy for 3 months. Evaluation was carried out in patients of these two groups before and after intervention and on exercise tolerance in patients with symptoms of dyspnea. Results Patients in trial group were significantly improved in 6MWD ( the range of improvement was 31.77 ± 10.89 m) after treatment for 3 months, and the difference in range of 6MWD after treatment between these two groups was statistically significant( P 〈 0. 01 ) ; and the difference in improvement of dyspnea between patients of these two groups was significant ( P 〈 0.05 ). Conclusion The application of foot reflex zone therapy in patients with stable COPD can improve their exercise tolerance, and thus it may improve the synptom of dyspnea.
