Dose-effect of long-snake-like moxibustion for chronic fatigue syndrome: a randomized controlled trial.
Luo, Hong, Gong, Rui, Zheng, Rui et al.·Journal of translational medicine·2023
This study tested whether longer sessions of moxibustion (a traditional Chinese medicine heat treatment) might work better than shorter sessions for chronic fatigue syndrome. Sixty women with CFS were treated either 60 minutes or 30 minutes per session, three times per week for four weeks. The 60-minute sessions produced greater improvements in fatigue and other symptoms, and thermal imaging showed better changes in body heat patterns with the longer treatment.
