Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical value of the "Regulating the three Jiao" massage method in the treatment of patients with functional dyspepsia. Methods: Five hundred patients with functional dyspepsia admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to March 2025 were selected and randomly divided into the study group and the control group by the random number table method, with 250 cases in each group. The control group received conventional treatment for functional dyspepsia, while the study group was treated with the "Unblocking and regulating the three Jiao" massage method simultaneously. The therapeutic effects, TCM syndrome scores, and improvement of inflammatory indicators of the two groups of patients were evaluated and compared. Results: After treatment, the total effective rate of treatment in the study group was higher than that in the control group. After treatment, the scores of TCM syndrome, such as upper abdominal pain, fullness, and discomfort, and poor appetite in the study group were lower than those in the control group, and the levels of inflammatory factors, such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 were lower than those in the control group. The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The clinical efficacy of the "Unblocking and regulating the three Jiao" massage method for patients with functional dyspepsia is definite. It can promote the improvement of the TCM syndrome score of patients and reduce the levels of inflammatory factors.
