"Ashi" points were used as the main acupoints. For comparison, other 300 cases (group B) were treated with routine acupuncture method, and Rugen (ST 18) was used as the main acupoint. In addition, other auxiliary acupoints were supplemented in the light of the concrete syndromes in these two groups. The treatment was given once daily, with 10 sessions being a therapeutic course. Of the 300 cases in group A, 240 were clinically cured, amounting to 80%; 58 were effective, amounting to 19.3%; 2 were failed, with a total effective rate of 99.3%. Of the 300 cases in group B, 113 were clinically cured, 165 effective, 22 were failed, with a total effective rate of 92.7%. The therapeutic effect of group A is significantly superior to that of group B (P<0.05).展开更多

The retrieval time is from July 2019 to July 2019. Then, we used Revman 5.3 software to meta analyze the data.Results: Nine RCTs were included, six of which were effective observation, two of which were recurrence rate observation, one of which was effective observation and reexamination rate observation. A total of 664 patients were included, including 456 in the experimental group and 208 in the control group. After analysis, it was found that the effective rate of GM in the experimental group was 92.3%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (Western medicine alone) by 75.5% (or = 4.09, 95% CI (2.28, 7.36), P < 00001), the recurrence rate of GM in the experimental group (treated with integrated traditional Chinese and Western Medicine) was 21.6%, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (treated with western medicine alone) by 55.7% (or = 0.19, 95% CI (0.10, 0.37), P < 0.0001).Conclusion: The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of granulomatous mastitis can not only improve the effective rate of clinical treatment, but also reduce the recurrence rate of granulomatous mastitis.展开更多
