    Abstract:

    Obiective To observe the therapeutic effect of salt-partitioned moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8) plus warm needling method on deficiency syndrome of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Methods Thirty-six patients were divided into treatment group (n = 19) and control group (n = 17) according to visiting departments. Patients of the treatment group were administered with salt-partitioned moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8) plus warm needling method, once per day, while patients of the control group were treated with oral Finasteride, 5 mg each time, once a day. Clinical efficacy was evaluated after twelve weeks of treatment for both groups, and adverse reactions were observed. Results Total effective rate of the treatment group was 84.21% (16/19), significantly higher than 70.59% (12/17) of the control group (P<0.05). Serious adverse reactions were not observed in both groups.
