Abstract
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion combined with western medication for preconception intervention in prethrombotic state of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) with kidney deficiency and blood stasis.
Methods: A total of 100 RSA patients of prethrombotic state with kidney deficiency and blood stasis were randomized into a combination group (50 cases, 5 cases were eliminated) and a medication group (50 cases, 5 cases were eliminated). In the medication group, the aspirin enteric-coated tablet was given orally at a dose of 75 mg a time, once daily. On the basis of the treatment in the medication group, in the combination group, heat-sensitive moxibustion was applied at the heat-sensitive points selected among the areas of Guanyuan (CV4), Shenque (CV8), and bilateral Sanyinjiao (SP6), Zusanli (ST36), Qihai (CV6), Taixi (KI3), Zigong (EX-CA1), Luanchao (Extra), Xuehai (SP10), and Yinlingquan (SP9), about 40 min a time, once every two days. Both groups were treated for 3 menstrual cycles continuously. Pregnancy success rate of 12 weeks was recorded in the two groups in follow-up of 3 months after treatment completion, during which conception was tried under the guidance of doctor. The TCM symptom score was observed and the coagulation-fibrinolysis indexes (activated partial thromboplastin time [APTT], prothrombin time [PT], platelet count [PLT], D-dimer [D-D], fibrinogen [FIB], protein S [PS], protein C [PC] and antithrombin Ⅲ [AT-Ⅲ]) were detected before and after treatment in the two groups.
Results: The pregnancy success rate of 12 weeks was 80.0% (32/40) in the combination group, which was higher than 54.3% (19/35) in the medication group (P<0.05). After treatment, the TCM symptom scores were decreased compared with those before treatment in the two groups (P<0.05), and the TCM symptom score in the combination group was lower than that in the medication group (P<0.05). Compared before treatment, the APTT and PT was prolonged (P<0.05), the levels of PLT, FIB and D-D were reduced (P<0.05), the activity of AT-Ⅲ, PS and PC was increased (P<0.05) after treatment in the two groups. After treatment, in the combination group, the APTT was longer (P<0.05), the levels of PLT, FIB and D-D were lower (P<0.05), the activity of AT-Ⅲ, PS and PC was higher (P<0.05) than those in the medication group.
Conclusion: Heat-sensitive moxibustion combined with western medication can effectively improve the prethrombotic state and TCM clinical symptoms in RSA patients with kidney deficiency and blood stasis, enhance pregnancy success rate, its mechanism may be related to ameliorating hypercoagulability.

Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion (founded in 1981, monthly) is an authoritative academic journal of acupuncture and moxibustion under the supervision of China Association for Science and Technology and co-sponsored by Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion Society and Institute of Acupuncture and Moxibustion of China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is recognised as a core journal of Chinese science and technology, a core journal of Chinese language, and is included in the core journals of China Science Citation Database, as well as being included in MEDLINE and other international well-known medical index databases. The journal adheres to the tenet of ‘improving, taking into account the popularity, colourful and realistic’, and provides valuable learning and communication opportunities for the majority of acupuncture and moxibustion clinical and scientific research workers, and plays an important role in the domestic and international publicity and promotion of acupuncture and moxibustion disciplines.
