Abstract Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of thunder-fire moxibustion in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) on Shenque acupoint (CV8) comparing with common moxa-stick moxibustion therapy, and to investigate its influence on CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood. Methods From October 2016 to June 2017, 85 cases of patients diagnosed as CFS in Center of Traditional Remedies, the Second Clinical Medical College, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine were selected as research objects and divided into the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group was treated with thunder-fire moxibustoin, while the control group was treated with common moxa-stick moxibustion. Both groups chose CV8, once every other day, three times were as one course, for 4 courses. Finally, 38 cases in the experimental group and 37 cases in the control group finished the study. The changes of CFS clinical syndrome scale and the levels of T lymphocyte subsets (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+) in peripheral blood before and after treatment were observed. Results Both groups could decrease the scores of clinical syndrome scale, and the experimental group was better than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Both groups could increase the number of CD3+, and the effective rate in the experimental group and control group was 65.79%, 43.24% respectively, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Both groups could two-way regulate the ratio of CD4+/CD8+, and the effective rate in the experimental group and control group was 50.00%, 21.62% respectively, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There were no obvious adverse events in both groups. Conclusion Both thunder-fire moxibustion and common moxa-stick moxibustion can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of CFS, increase the number of CD3+ and restore the balance of CD4+/CD8+ ratio, but the effect of thunder-fire moxibustion is better. Both are safe, easy to operate, and valuable for clinical application.
