A CONTROL OBSERVATION ON THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF INTELLIGENT(COMPUTERIZED)ELECTROACUPUNCTURE AND COMMON ELECTROACUPUNCTURE TREATING 77 CASES OF NEUROSIS

77 cases of neurosis were treated with intelligent(computerized)elec-troacupuncture(IEA)and common electroacupuncture(CEA)at two different wave forms and fre-quencies.The results showed that the markedly effective rates of IEA and CEA were respectively75% and 60% without a statistically significant difference.For different subtypes of neurosis,thetherapeutic effects of IEC in the treatment 6f neurasthenia and depressive neurosis were superior toand in the treatment of anxiety was inferior to those of CEA.For different syndromes,the curativeeffects of IEA on somatic symptom,depression and asthenic symptom were.superior to and on anxietyand sleep-disorder were not as good as those of CEA.

A CONTROLLED STUDY OF THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF COMPUTER-CONTROLLED ELECTRIC ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT ON REFRACTORY SCHIZOPHRENIA

Out of 100 cases of intractable schizophrenia,57 cases were in the group ofComputer-Controlled Electric Acupuncture (CCEA) and 43 in the control group.The therapeutic re-sults showed that clinically CCEA had a remarkably effective rate of 40. 35% on refractoryschizophrenia,which had much better curative effects than those in the control group.Through dy-namic evaluation of brief psychiatric rating scale (BPRS),negative symptom scale (SANS) and posi-tive symptom scale (SAPS) for both groups before,during and after treatment,the results indicatedthat in CCEA group the scores of BPRS,SANS and SAPS after treatment were much less than thosebefore treatment,which were remarkably different from those in the control group (P<0.01).Lab-oratory examination of thyroxin and androgen of patients in both groups before and after treatmentfound a significant result.

THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF HEAD ACUPUNCTURE ON STROKE

According to the "International Standard of Chinese Head Acupoints" 207 patientssuffering from stroke were treated by needling along the anterior and posterior obligue lines of vertex-temporal, and the line 1 and line 2 lateral to vertex. The markedly effective rate accounted for73. 43% of the total, and the overall effective rate represented 89. 86%. After the treatment somesymptoms as hemiplegia, lingual dysfunction, facial and tongue paralysis were obviously improved (P< 0. 01 ). The therapeutic effect of head acupuncture was obviously better than that of Westernmedicine(P<0.01). Comparison of therapeutic effects made among needling along different lines andbetween those applied on the intact and affected sides of the body showed that they were all effectivein improving the symptoms, but there was no significant difference(P<0. 05)

ANALYSIS OF THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF ACUPUNCTURE ON POSTHERPETIC NEURALGIA

Acupuncture therapy was adopted in treating 17 patients suffering from postherpeticneuralgia. Local acupoint was selected as the main point and some points on the related meridians asadjunct points, which were punctured once a day, 10 successive days as a treatment course. It was re-vealed that the total effective rate was 88. 24% and 22. 22% in acupuncture group and control grouprespectively (P<0. 01). And the high effective rates were observed in the 2nd and 3rd course of thetreatment and in the patients whose courses of diseases were in one month. lt is suggested thatacupuncture was simple, physiologically moderate and effective therapy in the treatment of posther-petic neuralgia.     

ANALYSIS ON THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF 233 CASES OF ARTHRALGIA-SYNDROME TREATED WITH ACUPUNCTURE AND MOXIBUSTION

233 cases of arthralgia-syndrome were randomly divided into five treatment groupswith double blind method:1)acupuncture pills cupping;2)acupoint medicinal injection;3)acupointmedicinal injection plus laser radiation;4)acupoint medicinal injection plus field effect,and 5)electroacupuncture(EA)plus cupping for observation of the therapeutic effect.The total effective ratewas 89.2％.No significant differences were found among the five groups in the total effective rate.But,the markedly effective rate was highest in the acupoint medicinal injection plus field effect group.And the therapeutic effect in patients with pain arthralgia and migratory arthralgia and shorter courseof disease was best.

CLINICAL OBSERVATION ON TREATMENT OF HICCUP BY ACUPOINT DIGITAL-PRESSING AND MASSAGE

In the present paper, 32 cases of hiccup are treated with acupoint digital pressing and massage. According to syndrome differentiation, hiccup is divided into 5 types including stomach-cold, reversed rising of the stomach-fire, adverse flow of qi and phlegm obstruction, deficiency of both spleen-yang and kidney-yang and insufficiency of the stomach-yin. Acupoints used are Zusanli (ST 36), Neiguan (PC 6), Zhongfu (LU 1), etc. and pressed with fingers repeatedly. Then, massage manipulations are performed by tapping the patient's back repeatedly for 5 - 6 times; tapping Jiuwei (CV 15) area, and pressing the tender-point beside the left side of T3_4 spinous processes and Geshu (BL 17). After treatment, of the 32 cases of hiccup, 23 cases are cured, 6 have remarkable improvement and 3 are failed in treatment, with the effective rate being 90.6% .     

CLINICAL OBSERVATION ON TREATMENT OF 120CASES OF PERIPHERY FACIAL PARALYSIS WITH PENETRATION NEEDLING

In the present study,the therapeutic effect of penetration needling was observed in 120cases facial paralysis patients and compared with that of the routine needling in another105cases.Re-sults showed that though no significant difference was found between these two groups in the therapeu-tic effect,the acupoints used were fewer in penetration needling group and its effect on tear and poste-rior-auricular pain was superior to that of routine needling.     

CLINICAL OBSERVATION ON TREATMENT OF ALLERGIC BRONCHIAL ASTHMA WITH ACUPOINT APPLICATION THERAPY

In the present paper,the therapeutic effect of acupoint application of Chinese materia Medica in the treatment of allergic asthma was observed.The results revealed that topical application of drug-paste[mixture of powder of Mahuang(Herba Ephedrae),Xixin (Herba Asari),Baijiezi(Semen Sinapis Albae),etc.]at the acupuncture points could improve symptome and signs of allergic asthma patients,with the total effective rate being 69.57%(16/23)for the short-term effect,and 52.17%(12/23)for the long-term effect.In medication(Aminophylline)group,of the 25 cases of allergic asthma,16(64.0%)were effective after 4 weeks of treatment,while 6(24.0%)were still effective that was shown by 6-months‘ follow up.The therapeutic effect of acupoint application group was significantly better than that of medication group in the long-term effect.Results also showed that no obvious interrelation between the short-term therapeutic effect and the duration of the severity of the disease.Results also display that acupoint application therapy is an effective,safe and handy method withfewer side effects for asthma.

CLINICAL OBSERVATION ON 104 CASES OF LOCAL NEURODERMATITIS TREATED BY CATGUT IMPLANTATION AT ACUPOINTS

Neurodermatitis is an intractable dermatosis, which is characterized by paroxysmal pru-ritus and lichenoid pathological changes in the skin. In this study, 104 cases of local neuredermatitiswere treated with catgut implantation at acupoints. Among them, 80 cases (76. 9 % ) were markedlyeffective, 14 cases (13. 5 % ) effective with the total effective rate of 90. 4 %. There were another 38cases used as a control group, who were treated with 10% Unguentum picis fabae nigrae or Triamci-nolone. The local area smeared with the ointment was blowed by an electric hot blower. If itching wassevere, it should be treated with sedative or using some antihistaminics. Of them, 18 cases (47. 4 % )were markedly effective, 11 cases (28. 9 % ) effective. The total effective rate was 76. 3 %. There wasa significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05 ). It shows that the effect of catgut implan-tation at acupoint is better than that of medicination group.     

DEVELOPMENT OF CLINICAL STUDIES ON ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT OF SHOULDER PAIN IN PATIENTS WITH WIND STROKE

In the present paper, the authors review some new results of acupuncture treatment of shoulder pain in stroke patients from ① application of filiform needle with different needling manipulations, ② selection and combination of acupoints, and ③ some special needling methods including point-injection. Generally, if acupuncture therapy is used in combination with other rehabilitation methods, the therapeutic effect of shoulder-pain-relief will be much better. Regarding the acupoint selection, both local acupoints and those of the yang meridians are primarily used in clinical practice. Further studies on treating shoulder pain of hemiplegia based upon the basic theory of TOM are necessary.
