The effects of electrical stimulation by simple pocket size stimulator were evaluated on myofascial trigger points by pain threshold (PTH) algometry. The study consisted 14 patients with 76 treated trigger points in randomly selected double blind cross-over study protocol. The effects of 30 seconds stimulation increased the PTH values 0.58 kg/cm2 in study group, but only 0.13kg/cm2 in controls (p < 0.01). These results suggested that the stimulation had positive effects on myofascial trigger points, but these effects were seen only on the treated points. 相似文献

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
