Abstract

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture at Front Mu point in the treatment of ulcerative colitis. Methods Sixty patients with ulcerative colitis treated at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Kunming from August 2022 to June 2023 were collected. Using a random number table method, 30 cases were assigned to each of the control group and the combined group. The treatment method involved administering oral mesalazine to the control group for a continuous period of 8 weeks, while the combined group received both oral mesalazine and acupuncture at front Mu points. The clinical efficacy, colonoscopy results score （Baron score）, and colonic mucosal healing score （Geboes） before and after treatment were compared. Follow-up was conducted at 3 months to calculate the recurrence rate in the combination and control groups. Results The total effective rate in the combination group was higher than that in the control group （P < 0.05）, with rates of 93.33% and 67.67%, respectively. After treatment, the disease activity index, Baron score, and Geboes score decreased compared to before treatment （P < 0.05）, and the combination group had a lower disease activity index, Baron score, and Geboes score than the control group after treatment （P < 0.05）. Comparing the recurrence rates at 3 months post-treatment, the combination group was lower than the control group. Conclusion Acupuncture at Front Mu Point can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of ulcerative colitis, reduce the recurrence rate compared to patients in the control group, and is safe and reliable without serious adverse reactions.
