The patients received three treatment sessions per week for 12 wk and were followed up for 24 wk. The main outcome was evaluated using the CD Activity Index (CDAI) score, and the secondary outcomes were evaluated using laboratory indicators such as hemoglobin (HGB), C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate, quality-of-life, endoscopic ratings, and intestinal histology scores.\nRESULTS: The CDAI scores of both the treatment and control groups were significantly reduced after treatment compared with those measured before treatment. However, the degree of improvement in the treatment group was significantly greater than that of the control group. The improvement in symptoms in patients of the treatment group was sustained at follow-up, whereas that of the control group was not. The overall efficacy of the treatment was significantly greater than that of the control. Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in quality-of-life ratings after treatment, but the improvement was significantly greater in the treatment group than in the control group. In addition, the patients in the treatment group showed significantly increased HGB and significantly decreased CRP levels and histopathological scores at the end of treatment, whereas the control group did not exhibit significant changes.\nCONCLUSION: Moxibustion with acupuncture provided significant therapeutic benefits in patients with active CD beyond the placebo effect and is therefore an effective and safe treatment for active CD.","tracks":[{"project":"PubmedHPO","denotations":[{"id":"T1","span":{"begin":204,"end":219},"obj":"HP_0100280"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"T1","pred":"source","obj":"PubmedHPO"}]},{"project":"Allie","denotations":[{"id":"SS1_25152604_2_0","span":{"begin":204,"end":219},"obj":"expanded"},{"id":"SS2_25152604_2_0","span":{"begin":221,"end":223},"obj":"abbr"},{"id":"SS1_25152604_6_0","span":{"begin":627,"end":644},"obj":"expanded"},{"id":"SS2_25152604_6_0","span":{"begin":646,"end":650},"obj":"abbr"},{"id":"SS1_25152604_6_1","span":{"begin":737,"end":747},"obj":"expanded"},{"id":"SS2_25152604_6_1","span":{"begin":749,"end":752},"obj":"abbr"},{"id":"SS1_25152604_6_2","span":{"begin":755,"end":773},"obj":"expanded"},{"id":"SS2_25152604_6_2","span":{"begin":775,"end":778},"obj":"abbr"}],"relations":[{"id":"AE1_25152604_2_0","pred":"abbreviatedTo","subj":"SS1_25152604_2_0","obj":"SS2_25152604_2_0"},{"id":"AE1_25152604_6_0","pred":"abbreviatedTo","subj":"SS1_25152604_6_0","obj":"SS2_25152604_6_0"},{"id":"AE1_25152604_6_1","pred":"abbreviatedTo","subj":"SS1_25152604_6_1","obj":"SS2_25152604_6_1"},{"id":"AE1_25152604_6_2","pred":"abbreviatedTo","subj":"SS1_25152604_6_2","obj":"SS2_25152604_6_2"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"SS1_25152604_2_0","pred":"source","obj":"Allie"},{"subj":"SS2_25152604_2_0","pred":"source","obj":"Allie"},{"subj":"SS1_25152604_6_0","pred":"source","obj":"Allie"},{"subj":"SS2_25152604_6_0","pred":"source","obj":"Allie"},{"subj":"SS1_25152604_6_1","pred":"source","obj":"Allie"},{"subj":"SS2_25152604_6_1","pred":"source","obj":"Allie"},{"subj":"SS1_25152604_6_2","pred":"source","obj":"Allie"},{"subj":"SS2_25152604_6_2","pred":"source","obj":"Allie"}]},{"project":"yangbin123xm_800_3","denotations":[{"id":"T1","span":{"begin":78,"end":93},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T2","span":{"begin":204,"end":219},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T3","span":{"begin":221,"end":223},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T5","span":{"begin":1916,"end":1918},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T6","span":{"begin":2005,"end":2007},"obj":"DP"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"T1","pred":"source","obj":"yangbin123xm_800_3"},{"subj":"T2","pred":"source","obj":"yangbin123xm_800_3"},{"subj":"T3","pred":"source","obj":"yangbin123xm_800_3"},{"subj":"T5","pred":"source","obj":"yangbin123xm_800_3"},{"subj":"T6","pred":"source","obj":"yangbin123xm_800_3"}]},{"project":"chenxin_473849_800_3","denotations":[{"id":"T1","span":{"begin":204,"end":219},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T2","span":{"begin":78,"end":93},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T3","span":{"begin":221,"end":223},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T5","span":{"begin":1916,"end":1918},"obj":"DP"},{"id":"T6","span":{"begin":2005,"end":2007},"obj":"DP"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"T1","pred":"source","obj":"chenxin_473849_800_3"},{"subj":"T2","pred":"source","obj":"chenxin_473849_800_3"},{"subj":"T3","pred":"source","obj":"chenxin_473849_800_3"},{"subj":"T5","pred":"source","obj":"chenxin_473849_800_3"},{"subj":"T6","pred":"source","obj":"chenxin_473849_800_3"}]}],"config":{"attribute types":[{"pred":"source","value type":"selection","values":[{"id":"PubmedHPO","color":"#93e1ec","default":true},{"id":"Allie","color":"#ecdd93"},{"id":"yangbin123xm_800_3","color":"#c393ec"},{"id":"chenxin_473849_800_3","color":"#93eca9"}]}]}}
