针刺不同留针时间治疗顽固性呃逆临床观察

目的:探讨留针时间与疗效的关系。方法:将85例顽固性呃逆患者按就诊时间随机分为两组,观察组采用延长留针时间的方法治疗,对照组采用常规针刺的方法治疗。结果:观察组治愈率为88.9％(其中虚证治愈率为85.3％),对照组治愈率为65.0％(其中虚证治愈率为53.3％)。经X2检验,两组疗效差异有显著意义(P<0.05)。结论:延长留针时间治疗顽固性呃逆疗效高。对于虚证患者,留针时间长、病程短的治愈率明显高于常规留针时间及病程长者。

Clinical observation on treatment of stubborn hiccup by acupuncture with different needle-retaining time

Objective To observe relationship between the therapeutic effect and the needle-retaining time. Methods 85 cases of stubborn hiccup were randomly divided into two groups according to the visiting time, observation group and control group. The observation group were treated by prolonged needle-retaining time and the control group by routine needle-retaining time. Results The cured rate was 88.9% in the observation group (85.3% for deficiency syndrome), and 65.0% in the control group (53.3% for deficiency syndrome), with a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The prolonged needle-retaining time has a higher therapeutic effect on stubborn hiccup, and the cured rate of long needle-retaining time and short duration of illness is obviously higher than that of routine needle-retaining time and short duration of illness for the patient of deficiency syndrome.
