Clinical observation on wrist-ankle acupuncture for treatment of pain of middle-late liver cancer

Objective To assess the analgesic effect of wrist-ankle acupuncture on liver cancer pain. Methods Eighty-six cases of liver cancer pain were divided into 2 groups, a treatment group (n=36) treated with simple wrist-ankle acupuncture and a control group (n=50) treated with simple medicine according to 3-steps analgesic principle. Their therapeutic effects and side effects were compared. Results The total effective rate and the cured-markedly effective rate were 94.4% and 86.1% in the treatment group respectively with no significant difference between the treatment group and the control group in the analgesic effect, and the analgesic effect in the treatment group lasted a longer period than the control group with no side-effects. Conclusion Wrist-ankle acupuncture has an obvious therapeutic effect on liver cancer pain with no side-effects and longer analgesic period.
