Author Spotlight: An Effective Traditional Chinese Medicinal Treatment for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease with Abdominal Distension

We propose a standardized manipulation of warm acupuncture and moxibustion for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, combined with abdominal distention. This method can help answer key questions in the field of COPD with abdominal distention. The manual advantages of warm acupuncture and moxibustion include the method's high effectiveness in operation, ease of performance, and affordability.

These forms of traditional Chinese medicine treatments can benefit many patients. Our laboratory will be committed to studying the basic mechanism of warm acupuncture and moxibustion to alleviate COPD with abdominal distension. Our future work will focus on establishing more intelligent manipulations of warming acupuncture, and moxibustion.
