Abstract：Objective To observe the clinical effect of Fu′s subcutaneous needling in the treatment of functional constipation. Methods Sixty patients with functional constipation admitted to Outpatient Department of Digestive Medicine and Outpatient Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion of Guangdong Chinese Medicine Hospital from June 2016 to May 2018 were selected. The patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group with 30 cases in each group by sealed envelope method. Treatment group was treated with Fu′s subcutaneous needling, while control group was treated with routine acupuncture. The efficacy, adverse reactions and patient-assessment of constipation quality of life (PAC-QOL) scores of constipation patients before and after treatment were compared between two groups. Results There was no statistically significant difference in total effective rate between two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, total score of PAC-QOL, scores of physical discomfort, social psychological discomfort, anxiety and satisfaction of two groups were lower than those before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Total score of PAC-QOL, scores of physical discomfort and anxiety in treatment group were lower than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Fu′s subcutaneous needling can improve the clinical symptoms and quality of life of patients with functional constipation, and it is worthy of clinical application.
