针刺大椎对感冒高热退热效果的临床观察

目的:探讨大椎穴对感冒高热的治疗作用。方法:将261例患者随机分为治疗组(133例)和对照组(128例)。治疗组采用电针大椎,对照组采用肌肉注射安痛定注射液,观察24小时的即时退热效果。结果:治疗组治疗后各时点体温均低于对照组(P<0.01)。治疗组起效时间为(1.42±1.79)小时,短于对照组的(3.44±5.10)小时(P<0.01)。治疗组痊愈率为27.8%,解热率为75.9%;对照组痊愈率为10.9%,解热率为55.5%,两组比较差异均有非常显著性意义(P<0.01)。风热证感冒治疗组的解热率为75.3%,对照组为50.0%,两组比较差异有非常显著性意义(P<0.01)。结论:大椎穴退热疗效确切,风热感冒所致高热可首选大椎,治疗应越早越好。

Clinical observation on effects of acupuncture at Dazhui (GV 14) for abating fever of common cold

OBJECTIVE: To explore the therapeutic effect of acupuncture at Dazhui (GV 14) for abating fever of common cold. METHODS: Two hundred and sixty-one cases were randomly assigned to a treatment group of 133 cases and a control group of 128 cases. The treatment group were treated with electroacupuncture at Dazhui (GV 14) and the control group with antondine injection. The transient effect of abating fever within 24 h was observed. RESULTS: After treatment, the body temperature at all observation time points in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.01). The effect-appearing time (1.42 +/- 1.79) h in the treatment group was shorter than that in the control group (3.44 +/- 5.10) h (P < 0.01). The cured rate and the abating fever rate were 27.8% and 75.9% in the treatment group, and 10.9% and 55.5% in the control group, with significant differences between the two groups, the treatment group being better than the control group (P < 0.01). The abating fever rate for the wind-heat type common cold was 75.3% in the treatment group and 50.0% in the control group, with significant difference between the two groups, the treatment group being better than the control group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The method of acupuncture at Dazhui (GV 14) has a definite therapeutic effect on high fever of common cold, and for wind-heat type common cold, Dazhui (GV 14) first may be chosen to abate high-fever and the treatment should be taken as early as possible.
