Abstract:
Objective：To summarize the clinical effect of flash cupping therapy on children with bronchial pneumonia.
Methods：Totally 180 cases of children with bronchial pneumonia were randomly divided into observation group and control group. In the control group, 90 cases were treated by routine method, and the observation group 90 cases was treated with flash cupping therapy on the basis of the control group. The treatment effect of two groups was compared after the treatment of 7 d.
Results：The total effective rate of the observation group was 95.55%, and the total effective rate was 72.22% in the control group, the difference being statistically significant (P＜0.05). Pulmonary rales disappearing time and hospitalization time in observation group were shorter than the control group, and there was significant difference between two groups (P＜0.05). The complication rate of observation group was 6.66%, and the control group was 26.67%, the difference being statistically significant (P＜0.05).
Conclusion：Flash cupping therapy has good effect in treatment of children with bronchial pneumonia,and it can shorten the disappearance time of lung rale and hospitalization time with fewer complications and simple operation, which is worthy of clinical application.
