Does acupuncture combined with aspirin improve aspirin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Acupuncture combined with aspirin may improve aspirin resistance and reduce cardiocerebrovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Acupuncture for regulating spleen and stomach combined with aspirin enteric-coated tablets relieve insulin resistance and reduces blood glucose and lipid as well as the recurrence rate of cardiocerebrovascular events in the patients with T2DM, which is probably related to the regulation of insulin resistance and the improvement of vascular endothelial function. This combined therapy achieves the better effect on aspirin resistance as compared with simple aspirin enteric-coated tablets.
