STUDY ON THE THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF ACUPUNCTURE THERAPY FOR TREATMENT OF EPIGASTRALGIA

In the present paper, the therapeutic effect of acupuncture in treatment of 42 cases of epigastralgia was observed using multiple objective indexes, including electrogastrogram (EGG), output of gastric acid and pepsase, plasma prostaglandin (PG) E and gastrin contents, the number and morphological structure of gastrin (G) cells of the antrum mucosa. These 42 cases included 18 cases of deficiency syndrome type, 13 excess syndrome type and 11 mixed type of deficiency and excess. Zhongwan (CV 12), Neiguan (PC 6) and Zusanli (ST 36) were punctured combined with other acupoints according to syndrome patterns. After treatment, 32 cases (76.19% ) were cured, 6( 14.29% ) had remarkable improvement and 4 (9.52%) had improvement, with a cure plus markedly effective rate of 90.48 %. Gastroscopic and EGG examination suggested that the function and structure of the stomach returned to normal after acupuncture. In addition, acupuncture stimulation had a bi-directional regulative action on gastric acid secretion, gastrin content, EGG activity, etc. Conclusion: Acupuncture treatment has a good regulative action on gastric function and structure in epigastraigia patients.

ANALYSIS ON THE THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT OF 2656CASES OF PRIMARY TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA

In the present paper,the clinical therapeutic effect of acupuncture therapy for treat-ment of primary prosopalgia was observed and its influencing factors were analyzed in 2656 patients.Yuyao(EX-HN4),Touwei(ST8),Sibai(ST2),Quanliao(SI18),Xiaguan(ST7)and Ji-achengjiang were punctured selectively according to the involvement of different branches of the trigeminal nerve.After treatment,of the 2656cases,the trigeminal neuralgia disappeared in 1469(55.31),727(27.37%)had marked improvement,430(16.19%)had improvement and 30(1.13%)had no any significant effect.The three years‘follow-up visit in 245cases showed a relapse in 187cases(76.3%).We think that the therapeutic effect is closely related to the needling manipula-tions.Only when an electric shock-like needing sensation appeared(i.e.“qi reaching th affected area”)after inserting the acupuncture needle into the chief acupoints,a better therapeutic effect would be achived.
