ObjectiveBy comparison of the clinical efficacy of treating knee osteoarthritis with tension-balance acupuncture therapy and conventional acupuncture therapy, the effectiveness of treatment of knee osteoarthritis with tension-balance acupuncture therapy was evaluated.MethodsSixty-three patients with knee osteoarthritis in conformity with the diagnostic criteria were randomly divided into the tension-balance-acupuncture group (32 cases, balance group for short) and the conventional acupuncture group (31 cases, conventional group for short) according to random number table. In the balance group, patients with the pain in the anterior flexor group were needled at Bìguān ( ST 31), Fēngshì ( GB 31), Hèdng ( EX-LE 2), Dúbí ( ST 35), Yánglíngquán ( GB 34), Xuèh?i ( SP 10) and Liángqiū ( ST 34). Afterwards the patients were repositioned in prone position. They were given the treatment by needling at Huántiáo ( GB 30), Chéngfú ( BL 36), Wizhōng ( BL 40), Wiyang ( BL 39), Yīnlíngquán ( SP 9), Qūquán ( LV 8) and Chéngshān ( BL 57). Patients with the pain in the posterior extensor group were needled at ST 31, GB 31, EX-LE2, ST 35, GB 34, SP 10 and ST 34. Then the patients were repositioned in prone position. They were given the treatment by needling at GB 30, BL 36, BL 40, BL 39, SP 9, LV 8 and BL 57. They were treated once a day with five days as a course of treatment and two days as an interval. After three courses, Lequesne indiceses before and after the treatment and clinical efficacy of the treatment were observed.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of acupuncture in combination with medicine in the treatment of mild cognitive impairment after cerebral infarction as well as the impact on patients' daily living ability.MethodsSeventy-two patients, in accordance with random number table, were divided into two groups, acupuncture combined with western medicine group (group A) and western medicine group (group B), each group with 36 patients. In combination with nimodipine tablets, acupuncture which can regulate the mind and reinforce the intelligence [making Băihuì ( GV 20), Sìshéncōng ( EX-HN 1), Sìbái ( ST 2), Fēngchí ( GB 20), Wángŭ ( GB 12), Tiānzhù ( BL 10), Shénmén ( HT 7), Nèiguān ( PC 6), Shugōu ( GV 26), Sānyīnjiāo ( SP 6), Tàichōng ( LR 3), Fēnglóng ( ST 40) as the main acupoints] was given in the treatment group (group A) while only nimodipine tablets were given in the control group (group B). The efficacy of these two groups was evaluated by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Scale after the continuous treatment for three months.ResultsThe remarkably effective rate was 69.4% and the total effective rate was 91.7% in the treatment group, while the remarkably effective rate was 55.6% and the total effective rate was 80.6% in the control group; the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). When comparing the MoCA score before and after treatment, which was 20.23±4.67 before treatment and 26.84±3.87 after treatment in group A; 19.82±3.56 before treatment and 23.33±2.78 after treatment in group B, it was found that the score for both groups became higher after treatment than that before treatment. Furthermore, the increase of the score was higher in the treatment group (6.61±0.80) than that in the control group (3.51±0.78) and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).ConclusionsAcupuncture, which can regulate the mind and reinforce the intelligence, combined with nimodipine tablets is an effective therapy for the treatment of mild cognitive impairment after cerebral infarction, which is superior to single treatment with nimodipine tablets. 相似文献
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of acupuncture at “Jng Jiāj” () on sudden hearing loss by observing the changes of the threshold of auditory brainstem response (ABR) of deaf guinea pigs.MethodsSixty healthy guinea pigs were selected, with computer randomization, 20 were randomly divided into a normal control group (group A), while the rest were randomly and equally divided into a model group (group B) and an acupuncture group (group C) when turned deaf after gentamycin sulfate and furosemide were administered. No treatment was administered for either the group A or the group B, while acupuncture at “Jng Jiāj” was given for the group C for 30 days. The ABR thresholds of each group were observed and recorded separately after the treatment for 15 days and 30 days.ResultsThe ABR threshold in the group C was lower than that in the group B after the treatment of 15 days (P<0.05). After the treatment of 30 days, the ABR threshold in the group C was obviously lower than that in the group B (P<0.01), and was obviously lower than that before acupuncture (P<0.01).ConclusionsAcupuncture at “Jng Jiāj” has definite effect on improving the hearing of deaf guinea pigs. 相似文献
By virtue of rich academic experience, professor JIA Chun-sheng can change the treatment method during clinical practice and implement different therapies according to the diseases, thus he can obtain effective and rapid results. In this study, the theoretical knowledge, application method and clinical experience of professor JIA Chun-sheng in blooddraining therapy on the back were mainly introduced. Professor JIA Chun-sheng focuses on two key viewpoints: “Attacking pathogenic qi is to supplement deficiency,” and “Eliminating stagnant pathogen can clean the intestines and stomach, and removing concretions and conglomerations can harmonize ying and wei”, which have been considered as the important theoretical bases of direction of clinical practice. Generally, professor JIA Chun-sheng conducts blood-draining therapy at Dàzhuī ( GV 14), Fèishū ( BL 13), Xīnshū ( BL 15), Géshū ( BL 17), Gānshū ( BL 18), Píshū ( BL 20) and Shènshū ( BL 23) on the back in order to improve the blood circulation in local and corresponding zang-fu organs, thus being beneficial to harmonize qi and blood, or eliminate dampness, heat, wind, stasis and toxins. In the process of blood-draining, professor JIA Chun-sheng combines the blood-draining pen with vacuum cup to replace the traditional blood-draining tools, which makes the blooddraining therapy easy to learn and use. 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. The differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05).ConclusionAcupuncture can promote normal ovulation and menstrual cycles in patients with PCOS by regulating endocrine level. 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
