ObjectiveTo observe the clinical therapeutic effect on insomnia treated with acupuncture at back-shu points.MethodsSixty-four cases of insomnia were selected and divided randomly into a back-shu points group (group A) and a conventional acupoints group (group B) by a computer generated allocation list, 32 cases in each one. In the trial group, acupuncture was applied at Xīnshū ( BL 15), Gānshū ( BL 18), Píshū ( BL 20) and Géshū ( BL 17). In the control group, acupuncture was applied conventionally to Nèiguān ( PC 6), Shénmén ( HT 7), Sānyīnjiāo ( SP 6), B?ihuì ( GV 20) and Sìshéncōng ( EX-HN 1). Ten treatments made a session. The efficacy was analyzed statistically after 3 sessions of treatment.ResultsThere were significant differences between the two groups in the relief of sleep disorders after the treatment (P<0.01). The improvement in sleep efficiency was different significantly (P<0.05), The difference in sleep difficulty was significant in Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score (P<0.05).ConclusionThe clinical efficacy is achieved by either acupuncture at back-shu points or by acupuncture at conventional acupoints. The improvements of sleep efficiency and sleep disorder scores in PSQI, and sleep difficulty in TCM as well as the long-term efficacy are superior in group A as compared with those in group B. 相似文献

CV 3 on the abdomen and EX-CA 1 on both sides were manipulated by moxisbustion. The menstrual frequency, B ultrasound examination of uterus and adnexa uteri, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone (T), prolactin (PRL), progesterone (PROG) and estradiol (E2) were recorded.ResultsMenstrual cycles were restored in twenty-six patients after six-month treatment. The total frequencies of menstruation were 105, of which 79 with normal ovulation accounting for 75.23%. The testosterone level of (109.65 ± 43.38) ng/dL before treatment were reduced to (53.7 ± 19.24) ng/dL after treatment, LH/FSH ratio of 4.15 ± 1.38 before treatment were reduced to 1.75 ± 1.09 after treatment.

Treatment was made twice a day, 30 minutes each time. Two weeks after the treatment, the patients were assessed in symptoms improvement and clinical efficacy.ResultsThe total effective rate in group B was 91.4% and 75.8% in group A; in the total efficiency comparison in both groups, χ2=5.232, P<0.05. The difference in improvement of symptoms with post-stroke dysphagia treated with above mentioned combination treatment was statistically significant between both groups (P<0.05).ConclusionsThe above mentioned swallowing neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with acupuncture treatment has a better clinical effect when compared with ordinary acupuncture. 相似文献
