| Core Tip |
In this study, 105 postabdominal surgery patients with gastrointestinal disorders were selected strictly according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Comparative analysis assessed the clinical effects of routine western medicine treatment vs combined western medicine treatment and acupuncture–moxibustion. Multidimensional evaluation results showed higher curative effects of Western medicine + acupuncture–moxibustion therapy on gastrointestinal disorder patients after abdominal surgery. Such therapy alleviates clinical symptoms, promotes postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery, inhibits serum inflammation, and ensures higher clinical safety. The results can provide a better treatment option for these patients. |
