摘要
目的
对上海市社区肠易激综合征(irritable bowel syndrome, IBS) 的患病率情况进行调查研究, 以了解现状、 发现问题并提出相应对策, 同时开展针灸干预治疗的疗效观察。
方法
用整群、 随机抽样方法, 对上海长桥社区常住人口中18∼80 岁的1 685 人进行问卷调查, 了解按Manning及罗马标准判断的有症状人群的症状学和患病率情况。 对自愿进行针灸治疗的IBS 患者进行电针治疗。
结果
上海社区符合Manning标准的IBS人群患病率为11.45 %, 符合罗马标准的患病率为5.04%。 男女人数之比为0.77: 1, 男性患病率低于女性, 分别为10.62%、 12.19%, 但差异无显著性。 有症状人群中, 38.86%集中在46∼65 岁。 针灸治疗IBS患者62 例, 电针天枢穴组 (32 例) 有效率84.38%, 电针大横穴组 (30 例), 有效率56.67%, 两组有效率差异有统计学意义 (P<0.05)。
结论
IBS是上海社区的常见病、 多发病, 需要开展更大规模大样本的流行病学调查, 并广泛而深入地开展社区预防和医疗。 针灸疗法是治疗IBS的有效方法, 有必要进一步推广应用。

Objective
To explore the prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) based on a community population of Shanghai and the treatment of IBS by acupuncture therapy.

Results
The community- based prevalence of IBS was 11.45 % and 5.04% respectively according to modified Manning criteria and Rome II criteria. The ratio of male and female was 0.77:1 in IBS patients and the proportion was 10.62% and 12.19% respectively. But there were no significant difference in prevalence between different age groups (P>0.05). IBS is more common in subjects aged between 45–65 years (38.86%). Regarding the 62 IBS patients treated by electroacupuncture (EA), the total effective rate in Tianshu (ST 25) group (n=32) was 84.38%, and it was 56.67% in Daheng (SP 15) group (n=30), which showed a significant difference. (P<0.05).
Conclusion
